Rejected petition: Teach CPR and life saving skills as a part of the curriculum.

Rejected on

Get the government to make it mandatory to teach lifesaving skills such as CPR within schools.

This would save a lot of lives if people know how to deal with the situation. This is with the especially high rise in young people having a cardiac arrest.
