If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

How many times in the entire history of amateur radio
has a ham used CW to actually save a life? One would
think there would be a book full of examples by now.
A ham operator intercepted the SOS from the RMS Titanic.
how many life were saved thereby the Carpathia wheard the call and
arrived to save some folks what role did the ARS playing in saving even
one life that sorry day?
We aren't talking about failure to receive a CW SOS. Those ships that
responded did so after receiving word of the sinking by radio. They
saved
many lives from the lifeboats which would otherwise have been lost to
the
cold.
