That said, in terms of mlp, there’s gotta be a ton of unicorn EMTs in Equestria, considering if they want to perform CPR, they can just use telekinesis to squeeze the heart instead of breaking every bone in someone’s ribcage.

Now all I can imagine is that cloudsdale keeps little rain clouds in breakable glass for defibrillators.

Personally I find the thought that someone could just telekinetically squeeze someone’s heart more than a little terrifying. Talk about untraceable murder.

Yeeaah, I would suggest against that as a CPR technique. Only VERY well trained professionals could possibly know how to squeeze a heart back to life without just simply crushing it in the magic hold.

Do we know how much pressure comes with magic holding? Can the unicorns control it? Feel it? How do they magically grab something they can’t see? Instead of, you know, accidentally start squeezing the lung instead.

And if you can reach somepony’s heart and squeeze it with magic… well, what keeps that from becoming the cleanest way to murder someone?

On the subject of murder that can’t be traced, I always imagined that magic leaves some sort of residue that can be tracked, like a fingerprint or DNA.

Yes but people first need to be suspicious of it being a murder and not just a heart attack of some sort, to do the scanning for magic residue. Depends on how clever the unicorn is. And who is not to say any traces found can’t just be claimed as ATTEMPTS on CPR and not the actual killing blow?

On a side note, I DO have two OC’s with heart attack magic as their special talents…

Well I think a magic scan would be part of the autopsy and would be as routine as checking for poisons or other foul play. They would probably be able to tell if the magic happened before or after the heart attack.
