Wow...I've heard of this condition, but never seen n example. Devastating...absolutely devastating. Does anyone know what causes this? Is it a genetic goof or something else?

Re: A Child Born With Sirenomelia or Mermaid Syndrome
It occurs when the umbilical cord fails to form two arteries, thus preventing a sufficient blood supply from reaching the fetus. As a result, the single artery steals the blood and nutrition from the lower body and diverts it back up to the placenta. Due to malnutrition, the fetus fails to develop two separate limbs.
