That can't possibly be right, not on the margins.
Given you and wedrifid's responses, I am now updating my estimate of number of lives saved significantly downwards. However, I am curious as to why it's obvious to you that 3 lives is too high of a number on the margins.
Dead babies or children are a bad metric precisely because of this reason.
Years in good physical and mental health seem a better way to measure what people are going for.
A donation of blood saves less than one life in my estimates, but it improves quality of life and adds in my opinion a few years of healthy happy life.
