[§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
