person making the gift or by authorizing that a statement or symbol indicating

as provided in paragraph (a).
3. An anatomical gift made in the manner
described in paragraph (a) of subsection 1 by a donor who is at least 16 years
of age but less than 18 years of age is valid and may not be revoked by a
parent or guardian if the donor and his or her parent or guardian sign a form prescribed
by the Department of Motor Vehicles which indicates that unless the anatomical
gift is amended or revoked by the donor before his or her death, the anatomical
gift may not be amended or revoked by the parent or guardian of the donor.
4. Revocation, suspension, expiration or
cancellation of a drivers license or identification card upon which an
anatomical gift is indicated does not invalidate the gift.
5. An anatomical gift made by will takes
effect upon the donors death whether or not the will is probated. Invalidation
of the will after the donors death does not invalidate the gift.
