The Merbaby
Dear mouse,
If you have been watching Korina Sanchez' Rated K, you would have seen the siyokoy (merman) whose operation to make him more human-like was bankrolled by some charitable organizations thru the program.
This photo was e-mailed to the group by polo.
At first, I thought it was a hoax. This latest news however made me sigh a relief. It is depressing to think that some people ended up in carnival's freak show because of their abnormalities.
LIMA, PERU: Peruvian surgeons have
performed a preliminary operation to
separate the fused legs of a 9-month-old
girl known as the 'baby mermaid' because
of her rare birth defect, her doctor said
on Friday
.

g,
the story is not published hence there is no photo but there has been follow-ups on the progress of surgeries that were performed on that 50-year old adult "merman".
Although he did not have fused limbs, his head, skin, eyes and mouth resembled that of a hideous mythological sea creature.
