examination for medico-legal purposes.— Where the death of a person is caused by accident or any other unnatural cause, and his dead body has been sent for post mortem examination for medico-legal purposes, the person competent under this Act to give authority for the removal of eyes from such dead may, if he has reason to believe that the eyes will not be required for any medico-legal purpose, authorise the removal for therapeutic purposes, of the eyes of such deceased person; provided that he is satisfied that the deceased person had not expressed, before his death, any objection to his eyes being used for therapeutic purposes after his death or, where he had granted an authority

for the use of his eyes for therapeutic purposes after his death, such authority had not been revoked by him before his death.
