Seems unconscionable, to me. I find it interesting that the 'nurse' is on leave, and the family of the deceased woman said she wanted to die a natural death, and are content to have her pass away as she did.

I don't know if she was lost in dementia, or what, but it seems she didn't want to be artificially kept alive. Does that mean do no recessitate, at all ? Or do not place on a respirator and kept alive via expensive machines ? To me, there's quite a bit of difference between the two.

All states in the US have versions of the Good Samaritan Law, which grants immunity to those administering CPR in good faith.

In California, it is granted to those trained in CPR and "who in good faith, renders emergency CPR at the scene of an emergency," those who provide such training, and those who provide instruction.

However, the law is vague as to whether "non-certified" responders are granted immunity protection when administering CPR.

Thankfully, I never actually faced that situation.
