Talk:Sirenomelia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was just reading up on Sirenomelia and apparently, there are three known survivors of Sirenomelia. I searched the internet and was unable to find out who the other person is (not including tiffany yorks, and Milagaros Cerrón).

This statement of three survivors was found and verified in many esteemed sources, to include a few MSNBC and WOW.

The third survivor is supposedly "living somewhere in Asia." Guthrie 14:20, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps this topic should go under "mermaid". It's a small article to begin with... What do you wikipedians think? —DaemonDivinus 04:37, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it's a good idea. This one is a serious topic. How would you feel if you had a rare illness and its Wikipedia article were slumped together with that of some mythological creature? -- Alensha 22:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

I concur. Bubbleboys 23:26, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

"Caudal regression syndrome" under the See Also section redirects to this page. I suggest it be removed until an article is written.

Might be better to remove the redirect from CRS to this page. Jeffr 17:38, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

FWIW my medical dictionary has "caudal regression syndrome" also known as "caudal dysplasia syndrome" also known as "sacral agenesis."--209.7.195.158 21:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

They are, I am fairly sure, all the same syndrome.Didymus

[edit] There was just a case in China

I think Milagros Ceran's case warrants its own page, because survival is so rare, and each case so different, that each one is a unique story that ought to be told separately. ChristinaDunigan 05:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
