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

Now, today, we have such things a PSK31 to do much of the grunt work.
That will work as well as CW in most cases, I find.
Don't forget thought that solar flares and especially the aurora they
create induce a phase shift in signals and that wipes out PSK31.
True, I've never had much success during 2 metere aurora openings with
anything BUT CW. It ain't CW by the time it gets to the other end, but
it's still readable there.
