§ 15-19-208 — Preclusive effect of anatomical gift, amendment, or revocation

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (g) of this section and subject to
subsection (f) of this section, 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 part if the donor made an
anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under section 15-19-205 or an
amendment to an anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under section 15-19-206.

(b) A donor's revocation of an anatomical gift of the donor's body or part
under section 15-19-206 is not a refusal and does not bar another person specified
in section 15-19-204 or 15-19-209 from making an anatomical gift of the donor's
body or part under section 15-19-205 or 15-19-210.

(c) If a person other than the donor makes an unrevoked anatomical gift of
the donor's body or part under section 15-19-205 or an amendment to an anatomical
gift of the donor's body or part under section 15-19-206, another person may not
make, amend, or revoke the gift of the donor's body or part under section 15-19-210.

(d) A revocation of an anatomical gift of a donor's body or part under section
15-19-206 by a person other than the donor does not bar another person from
making an anatomical gift of the body or part under section 15-19-205 or 15-19-210.

(e) In the absence of an express, contrary indication by the donor or other
person authorized to make an anatomical gift under section 15-19-204, an
anatomical gift of a part is neither a refusal to give another part nor a limitation on
the making of an anatomical gift of another 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 15-19-204, an
anatomical gift of a part for one or more of the purposes set forth in section 15-19-204 is not a limitation on the making of an anatomical gift of the part for any of the
other purposes by the donor or any other person under section 15-19-205 or 15-19-210.

(g) If a donor who is an unemancipated minor dies, a parent of the donor who
is reasonably available may revoke or amend an anatomical gift of the donor's body
or part.

(h) If an unemancipated minor who signed a refusal dies, a parent of the
minor who is reasonably available may revoke the minor's refusal.
