A 'natural death' may be preferable for many than enduring CPR

unless we're actively killing more people by doing cpr by accident than would have lived it's a net positive even if it's 1%.

If you had a 1% chance to save your kid by oddly palpitating their chest... I'm betting you'd do it.

Tho as we all know you have to say "live damn you live" and cry a bunch for it to work.

Sure but what if you have a 2% chance of saving them by a thump to the heart, or a 20% chance by running to the store/business a couple blocks away and grabbing their AED.

During that time, a few blocks, they're likely been out for now 2+ minutes or more.

Or you could you know, yell and get other people to call 911 and find an AED.
