Probably, some still remember a Peruvian girl named Milagros Cerron quite well, yes the girl suffered the mermaid syndrome and later was performed a very successful split surgery. Recently, a sirenomelia [wiki] baby was born in Changsha, Hunan Province of China. What the worst is that the latter has no ass and reproductive organ and was abandoned by its parents already in a local children's hospital. The news report hinted that the infant could have been aborted should the mother have done a check-up during her pregnancy. :-(Link to Xinhua (in Chinese)
