I will quote one sentence from this article.
"Only 2% of those over 85 who suffer cardiac arrest survive without significant brain damage."

And here is the full article: < https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/05/29/1177914622/a-natural-death-may-be-preferable-for-many-than-enduring-cpr&gt;

thank you for sharing the article, I read it- I did not realize all the bad consequences which may come with a CPR - especially with a prolonged CPR, and especially for an older person with a chronic disease or cancer-
