REVISED UNIFORM ANATOMICAL GIFT ACT (2006)



Approved by the Executive Committee of the

National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws

January 12, 2008







***

Section 2 Comment is amended to read:



***

“Part” (paragraph (18)) means organ, eye, or tissue. While this This definition is shorter

than the definition in the 1987 Act, which defined “part” as “organ, tissue, eye, bone, artery,

blood, fluid, or other portion of a human body.” Nonetheless, the definition is intended to be it is

functionally the same because, according to the medical experts advising the drafting committee,

all parts of the human body, including bones and fluids, are encompassed within the act’s

definition of part. Thus, blood, plasma, and sperm would be parts under this act because they are

tissue. The definition excludes the whole body.
