Best Answer

If you have mermaid syndrome then you would of been born with it and rather had your legs split or have both amputated.

The cause of mermaid syndrome is the deprivation of the lower part of the body (legs) of oxygen and nutrients due to a problem in the circulatory system. More information in the link below.

Sirenomelia, commonly called Mermaid Syndrome, is a rare deformity in which the legs are fused together. The condition is about as rare as conjoined twins, but is usually fatal within a few days of birth because it interferes with kidney and bladder development.
