Text

(a) Except as otherwise provided in
subsection (g) and subject to subsection (f), 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 4 of this chapter or an amendment to an
anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under section 5 of this
chapter.
(b) A donor's revocation of an anatomical gift of the donor's body or
part under section 5 of this chapter is not a refusal and does not bar the
person specified in section 3 or 8 of this chapter from making an
anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under section 4 or 9 of this
chapter.
(c) If a person other than the donor makes an unrevoked anatomical
gift of the donor's body or part under section 4 of this chapter or an
amendment to an anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under
section 5 of this chapter, another person may not make, amend, or
revoke the gift of the donor's body or part under section 9 of this
chapter.
(d) A revocation of an anatomical gift of a donor's body or part
under section 5 of this chapter by a person other than the donor does
not bar another person from making an anatomical gift of the body or
part under section 4 or 9 of this chapter.
(e) In the absence of an express, contrary indication by the donor or
other person authorized to make an anatomical gift under section 3 of
this chapter, 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 3 of
this chapter, an anatomical gift of a part for one (1) or more of the
purposes set forth in section 3 of this chapter is not a limitation on the
making of an anatomical gift of the part for any of the other purposes
of the donor or any other person under section 4 or 9 of this chapter.
(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.
