     [§327-8]  Preclusive effect of an

anatomical gift, amendment, or revocation.  (a)  Except as otherwise

provided in subsection (g), in the absence of an express, contrary indication

by the donor, a person other than the donor is barred from making, amending, or

revoking an anatomical gift of a donor's body or body part if the donor made an

anatomical gift of the donor's body or body part under section 327-5, or an

amendment to an anatomical gift of the donor's body or the body part under

section 327-6.

     (b)  A donor's revocation of an anatomical gift

of the donor's body or a body part under section 327-6 is not a refusal and

shall not bar another person specified in section 327-4 or 327-9 from making an

anatomical gift of the donor's body or a body part under section 327-5 or

327-10.

     (c)  If a person other than the donor makes an

unrevoked anatomical gift of the donor's body or a body part under section 327-5,

or an amendment to an anatomical gift of the donor's body or a body part under

section 327-6, another person may not make, amend, or revoke the gift of the

donor's body or body part under section 327-10.

     (d)  A revocation of an anatomical gift of the

donor's body or a body part under section 327-6 by a person other than the

donor shall not bar another person from making an anatomical gift of the body

or a body part under section 327-5 or 327-10.

     (e)  In the absence of an express, contrary

indication by the donor or other person authorized to make an anatomical gift

under section 327-4, an anatomical gift of a body part is neither a refusal to

give another body part nor a limitation on the making of an anatomical gift of

another body part at a later time by the donor or another person.

     (f)  In the absence of an express, contrary

indication by the donor or other person authorized to make an anatomical gift

under section 327-4, an anatomical gift of a body part for one or more of the

purposes set forth in section 327-4 is not a limitation on the making of an

anatomical gift of the body part for any of the other purposes by the donor or

any other person under section 327-5 or 327-10.

     (g)  If a donor who is an unemancipated minor

dies under eighteen years of age, a parent of the donor who is reasonably

available may revoke or amend an anatomical gift of the donor's body or body

part.

     (h)  If an unemancipated minor who signed a

refusal dies under eighteen years of age, a parent of the individual who is

reasonably available may revoke the individual's refusal. [L 2008, c 122, pt of
