Question 15 • Biology

Which was most likely an effect on society that resulted from improvements in blood handling during World War I and World War II?

Answer
A
More soldiers died as a result of incorrect blood typing.
B
More soldiers who had lost a limb returned home.
C
More organizations spoke out against the war.
D
More donations were needed as a result of poor storage techniques.

Explanation

Improvements in blood handling made blood transfusions safer and more available to wounded soldiers. Transfusions helped people survive severe injuries, including injuries that led to limb loss, so more soldiers who had lost a limb returned home. Improved blood handling would reduce deaths from incorrect typing and poor storage, not increase them.
