525A.10 MANNER OF MAKING, AMENDING, OR REVOKING ANATOMICAL GIFT
OF DECEDENT'S BODY OR PART.
(a) A person authorized to make an anatomical gift under section 525A.09 may make an
anatomical gift by a document of gift signed by the person making the gift or by that person's
oral communication that is electronically recorded or is contemporaneously reduced to a record
and signed by the individual receiving the oral communication.
(b) Subject to paragraph (c), an anatomical gift by a person authorized under section
525A.09 may be amended or revoked orally or in a record by any member of a prior class who is
reasonably available. If more than one member of the prior class is reasonably available, the gift
made by a person authorized under section 525A.09 may be:
(1) amended only if a majority of the reasonably available members agree to the amending of
the gift; or
(2) revoked only if a majority of the reasonably available members agree to the revoking of
the gift or if they are equally divided as to whether to revoke the gift.
(c) A revocation under paragraph (b) is effective only if, before an incision has been made to
remove a part from the donor's body or before invasive procedures have begun to prepare the
recipient, the procurement organization, transplant hospital, or physician or technician knows of
the revocation.
