Abstract
Three experiments tested the hypothesis that preferences regarding life-sustaining medical interventions could be influenced by brief passages about CPR. Consistent with prior research, undergraduates’ preferences differed markedly from those of medical doctors. Although reading the passages did influence their preferences, variations in passage content had little or no effect.
