Anatomical Gift Directive Prohibiting Gifts
If a decedent has not provided any instructions about his or her preferences for personal anatomical gifts, Pennsylvania entitles others to make anatomical donations for that person at the time of death.

Although a decedent may not have wished to make any anatomical gifts, the law grants specific people the right to make gifts of the deceased's body if they do not have any instructions from the decedent that refuse personal anatomical gifts.
