Also known as CPR or Cardiac Resuscitation is an attempt to restart a stopped heart or restore breathing.

If you were in the final stages of a terminal disease (e.g. cancer), you might prefer to exit at this point rather than be revived for a few more days of suffering. Alternatively you may be of the view that you might as well get your money's worth out of the hospital staff.

Remember your decision on this will only be acted on if you are: (a) Terminally Ill and (b) Unable to communicate for yourself.
