Voice 2: This is wonderful news for Milagros and her family. But it is not only good news for them. It is also an important event in the medical world. Mermaid Syndrome is rare. There is only around one case in every seventy thousand births. But almost all of these cases have resulted in death, only a few days after birth. In richer countries, pregnant mothers go for scans. A scan machine takes a picture of the baby inside the mother. Doctors can see if the baby is healthy or not. They can also see if the baby has Mermaid Syndrome. If it does, doctors usually advise mothers to end their pregnancy. This is because the death rate of the child is so high. Suppose Milagros was born in a rich area with modern technology. Her chance of life may have ended before she was born.
