1. A person authorized to make an anatomical gift under section 23-06.6-08 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.
2. Subject to subsection 3, an anatomical gift by a person authorized under section 23-06.6-08 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 23-06.6-08 may be:
a. Amended only if a majority of the reasonably available members agree to the amending of the gift; or
b. 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.
3. A revocation under subsection 2 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.
