The "spirit" of a living will as I understand it is to not keep a person alive who is in a "vegetable state". Reviving someone who has had an immediate heart attack is something entirely different.
That is why I have a living will (not to be kept alive as a vegetable for weeks) but being revived following a heart attack and hopefully have recovery I view as something different.
A living will keeps you off artifical life support systems for weeks and weeks. A Defibrillator is not an artificial life support machine.
