13if made for the purpose of transplantation, it shall be
14effectuated in accordance with Section 5-25.
15    (d) The donee or other person authorized to accept the gift
16pursuant to Section 5-12 may employ or authorize any qualified
17technician, surgeon, or physician to perform the recovery.
18    (e) A person authorized to make an anatomical gift under

2than one member of the prior class is reasonably available for
3the giving of authorization or refusal, the gift made by a
4person authorized under subsection (b) of Section 5-5 may be:
5        (1) amended only if a majority of the class members
6    reasonably available for the giving of authorization or
7    refusal agree to the amending of the gift; or
8        (2) revoked only if a majority of the class members
9    reasonably available for the giving of authorization or
10    refusal agree to the revoking of the gift or if they are
11    equally divided as to whether to revoke the gift.
12    (e-10) A revocation under subsection (e-5) is effective
13only if, before an incision has been made to remove a part from
14the donor's body or before invasive procedures have been
15commenced to prepare the recipient, the procurement
16organization, non-transplant anatomic bank, transplant
17hospital, or physician or technician knows of the revocation.
18    (f) When there is a suitable candidate for organ donation
19and a donation or consent to donate has not yet been given,
20procedures to preserve the decedent's body for possible organ
21and tissue donation may be implemented under the authorization
22of the applicable organ procurement organization, at its own
23expense, prior to making a donation request pursuant to Section
245-25. If the organ procurement organization does not locate a
25person authorized to consent to donation or consent to donation
26is denied, then procedures to preserve the decedent's body

14or guardian with an opportunity to amend or revoke the
15anatomical gift of the donor's body.
