Oregon has adopted the 1987 version of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act. There may be some modifications to the 1987 version as adopted in Oregon. However, the 1987 version forms are acceptable in Oregon.
Oregon law provides a simpler anatomical gift form than the 1968 original version of the act. You may prepare a 'document of gift' — such as the one this website will help you create. Check Oregon law to find exactly what can be done.
An anatomical gift which is signed by the donor need not be witnessed or notarized; and, only takes effect after death.
You can give all or only specified parts of your body, such as the corneas, heart, kidneys, lungs, etc.
With some restrictions, you may specify who will receive your donation. You should contact any medical school or other recipient you select to make certain they can make appropriate use of your gift of life. If a specified recipient does not accept a donation, it may be go to your attending physician or any person or organization authorized by law to receive anatomical gifts.
