Best Answer

Quantitative measurements are used, because science and medicine rely on exactly that, quantities. The other option would be qualitative measurements (large, small, good, bad, etc), and since that wouldn't allow science or medicine to operate with any precision, quantitative measurements are used.

The metric system is used because the exchange of information across scientists and doctors around the world is important to progress in these fields. Since there are about 20 times as many people in the world who use the metric system compared to English units, scientists and doctors in the US use the more common and easily understood system.
