Text

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (g) 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 W.S. 35-5-205
or an amendment to an anatomical gift of the donor's body or
part under W.S. 35-5-206.
(b) A donor's revocation of an anatomical gift of the
donor's body or part under W.S. 35-5-206 is not a refusal and
does not bar another person specified in W.S. 35-5-204 or
35-5-209 from making an anatomical gift of the donor's body or
part under W.S. 35-5-205 or 35-5-210.
(c) If a person other than the donor makes an unrevoked
anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under W.S. 35-5-205
or an amendment to an anatomical gift of the donor's body or
part under W.S. 35-5-206, another person may not make, amend or
revoke the gift of the donor's body or part under W.S. 35-5-210.
(d) A revocation of an anatomical gift of a donor's body
or part under W.S. 35-5-206 by a person other than the donor
does not bar another person from making an anatomical gift of
the body or part under W.S. 35-5-205 or 35-5-210.
(e) In the absence of an express, contrary indication by
the donor or other person authorized to make an anatomical gift
under W.S. 35-5-204, 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 W.S. 35-5-204, an anatomical gift of a part for one (1) or
more of the purposes set forth in W.S. 35-5-204 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
W.S. 35-5-205 or 35-5-210.
(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.
