DNR is a critical aspect of health care that will not go away. It can't as part of the interface (to put it mechanistically) between life, death, and quality of life and death. Ever since and even prior to the Liverpool Care Pathway, the issues raised in medical care, humanity, dignity and respect, ethics, professionalism, integrity and governance are challenging to reconcile.

Hodges' model can play a part in critical thinking about not just a troublesome concept, but the interaction of several and making sense of them and the situation to hand - and heart. 

As such Hodges' model isn't going away either.
