should they be resuscitated?

Today in the UK we have the story that Ian Huntley, a man that killed two little girls in a case that was very high profile here, overdosed in his cell on pills he had stockpiled. However, he was discovered and resuscitated. He isn't serving a death sentence as we don't have that in the UK but even if he was the same question stands.

I am of two mind. My first idea is, of course, that the world certainly wouldn't be worse off without him. However, the other side of me doesn't want HIM to beable to make the choice of when he dies and get out of the punishment of his sentence. Afterall, those little girls didn't have control over their death so why should he?

So, should a prisoner who committed a serious crime be resuscitated if they try to kill themselves?
