UNIFORM ANATOMICAL GIFT ACT (UAGA)
Honoring First-Person Authorization
The Document of Gift is an authorization for anatomical donation made during the life of the individual to take place upon death, in accordance with the Oklahoma Uniform Anatomical Gift Act under Chapter 46 of the Health and Safety Oklahoma Statues.
This Document of Gift is considered an individual’s informed consent for organ and tissue donation to occur upon death and cannot be revoked by his/her legal next-of-kin.
LifeShare works tirelessly with families who don’t support their loved one’s registry status in order to honor the patient’s known wishes; our ultimate goal is to support and educate the family to allow donation to take place without causing the family additional stress.
If an individual is under 18 years of age, consent from his/her legal next-of-kin is needed to make an anatomical gift regardless of registry status.
A copy of the Document of Gift is placed in the front of the patient’s chart if they are found on the Organ & Tissue Donor Registry.
