Well, not really, but she did get a prosthetic mermaid tail to swim with.

When double amputee Nadya Vessey turned to the special effects team behind The Lord of the Rings to help her make a prosthetic, they came up with something special: a mermaid tail.
Ms Vessey, from Auckland, New Zealand, had both legs removed by the age of 16 due to a medical condition. But she is still a keen swimmer
Now in her fifties, Ms Vessey was pleasantly surprised when Weta Workshop agreed to give the mermaid tail a go, promising to make it as realistic as possible.

Cool, and good for her.
Though that is nothing in the times yet to come.
I most eagerly await the age of Transhumanism.
Complete control of genetics, nanobots, robotics, A.I´s, etc.
*stares longingly into to the future*
Ahem..What, my eyes glazed over you say?
AND I was non-responsive?

Truly I recommend the film Moon Zero Two for all your retro kicks, was one of the better MST3K episodes.

I've tried, but no matter how hard I punch it I always end up as the one bleeding in the corner and crying like a little girl.
