Best Answer

You cannot get mermaid syndrome. It is a congenital condition, meaning you have to be born with it in order to have it. A person with the condition is not a mermaid, it is only that the legs are fused together. A number of internal organs are either missing or deformed. As a result, only three victims of the disease have lived past early childhood.
