(1) Any donor may, in such manner and subject to such
conditions as may be prescribed, authorise
the removal before his death of any human organ of his body for
therapeutic purposes.
(2) If any donor had, in writing and in the presence of two or more
witnesses (at least one of whom is a near relative of such person),
unequivocally authorised at any time before his death the removal of
any human organ of his body after his death, for therapeutic purposes
the person lawfully in possession of the dead body of the donor shall,
unless he has any reason to believe that the donor had subsequently
revoked the authority aforesaid, grant to a registered medical
practitioner all reasonable facilities for the removal, for
therapeutic purposes, of that human organ from the dead body of the
donor;
(3) Where no such authority as is referred to in sub-section (2) was
made by any person before his death but no objection was also
expressed by such person to any of his human organs being used after
his death for therapeutic purposes, the person lawfully in possession
of the dead body of such person may, unless he has reason to believe
that any near relative of the deceased person has objection to any of
the deceased person's human organs being used for therapeutic
purposes, authorise the removal of any human organ of the deceased
person for its use for
therapeutic purposes
