You are correct as usual applesoff, about the "barely breathing" situation and not aministering CPR.
Sometimes stories in the news are sensationalized but the nurses voice sounded so...uninvolved to me.
It is good for all of us to think about as we age and hope that our loved ones investigage these choices for us when the time comes.
