(e) In the absence of an express, contrary indication by the donor or other person authorized to make an anatomical gift under Section 22-19-163, an anatomical gift of a part is neither a refusal to give another part nor a limitation on the making of an anatomical gift of another part at a later time by the donor or another person.
