(a) Subject to subsections (b) and (c) and unless barred by Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 65-3226 or 65-3227, and amendments thereto, an anatomical gift of a decedent‘s body or part for purpose of transplantation, therapy, research or education may be made by any member of the following classes of persons who is reasonably available, in the order of priority listed:

(1) An agent of the decedent at the time of death who could have made an anatomical gift under Kan. Stat. Ann. § 65-3223(2), and amendments thereto, immediately before the decedent’s death;

(2) the spouse of the decedent;

(3) adult children of the decedent;

(4) parents of the decedent;

(5) adult siblings of the decedent;

(6) adult grandchildren of the decedent;

(7) grandparents of the decedent;

(8) the persons who were acting as the guardians of the person of the decedent at the time of death;

(9) an adult who exhibited special care and concern for the decedent and who was familiar with the decedent’s personal values; and

(10) any other person having the authority to dispose of the decedent’s body.

(b) If there is more than one member of a class listed in subsection (a)(1), (3), (4), (6), (7), or (9) entitled to make an anatomical gift, an anatomical gift may be made by a member of the class unless that member or a person to which the gift may pass under Kan.

(c) A person may not make an anatomical gift if, at the time of the decedent’s death, a person in a prior class under subsection (a) is reasonably available to make or to object to the making of an anatomical gift.
