My coment was about the ambitions of the folks running the NHS in UK, not how our DNR system might work.

In that case, you are absolutely correct since the socialized medicine bean-counters know that it costs much less to bury a DOA than to treat a still living patient.

And, they come up with new ideas for killing patients repeatedly. Must be a cottage industry in that sort of thing over there, or maybe their government paid nursing corps has attracted all the killer docs and killer nurses in the English speaking world.
