    American Red Cross answered:
    If you are trained in first aid, you can give help that can save a life in the first few minutes of an emergency. First aid can be the difference between life and death.

    You should learn to give first aid care, because some day you may be in the position to save a life or help in an emergency. While you are never required to help, having the ability to do so helps empower you and the people you can help. Call you local Red Cross for more information.
