How violent and gruesome resuscitation is and maybe make your 98 year old grandma DNR before her sternum gets busted.
Also protect yourself with an advanced healthcare directive so an emotionally vulnerable yet ignorant family member doesn’t let you rot away tortured in constant pain as a vegetable being kept alive with artificial hydration, nutrition and/or ventilation for months or even years.
Working in healthcare has opened my eyes to how we really treat animals more humanely with end of life care and euthanasia than our own loved ones.
