Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-2200.22A: Cooperation between medical examiner and procurement

organizations.

A. A medical examiner shall cooperate with procurement

organizations to maximize the opportunity to recover anatomical

gifts for the purpose of transplantation, therapy, research, or

education.

B. If a medical examiner receives notice from a procurement

organization that an anatomical gift might be available or was made

with respect to a decedent whose body is under the jurisdiction of

the medical examiner and a postmortem examination is going to be

performed, unless the medical examiner denies recovery in accordance

with Section 23 of this act, the medical examiner or designee shall

conduct a postmortem examination of the body or the part in a manner

and within a period compatible with its preservation for the

purposes of the gift.

C. A part may not be removed from the body of a decedent under

the jurisdiction of a medical examiner for transplantation, therapy,

research, or education unless the part is the subject of an

anatomical gift. The body of a decedent under the jurisdiction of

the medical examiner may not be delivered to a person for research

or education unless the body is the subject of an anatomical gift.

This subsection does not preclude a medical examiner from performing

the medicolegal investigation upon the body or parts of a decedent

under the jurisdiction of the medical examiner.
