Ask students to think about what properties artificial blood should have so it would enable to save a human life. Discuss the topic. Start with a story: There has been an accident and the patient has lost a lot of blood. He is threatened with failure of organs and death caused by the lack of oxygen. No blood tin is available to save his life. Ask students: Could an artificial blood save him? It cannot have all the properties of human blood. Which properties must it have so it could help until a donor is found? Let students find on the Internet whether artificial blood has already been made and used for saving a patient.
