Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  A donor may make an anatomical gift:
1.  By authorizing a statement or symbol indicating that the
donor has made an anatomical gift to be imprinted on the donor’s
driver license or identification card;
2.  In a will;
3.  During a terminal illness or injury of the donor, by any
form of communication addressed to at least two adults, at least one
of whom is a disinterested witness; or
4.  As provided in subsection B of this section.
B.  A donor or other person authorized to make an anatomical
gift under Section 4 of this act may make a gift by a donor card or
other record signed by the donor or other person making the gift or
by authorizing that a statement or symbol indicating that the donor
has made an anatomical gift be included on a donor registry.  If the
donor or other person is physically unable to sign a record, the

record may be signed by another individual at the direction of the
donor or other person and must:
1.  Be witnessed by at least two adults, at least one of whom is
a disinterested witness, who have signed at the request of the donor
or the other person; and
2.  State that it has been signed and witnessed as provided in
paragraph 1 of this subsection.
C.  Revocation, suspension, expiration, or cancellation of a
driver license or identification card upon which an anatomical gift
is indicated does not invalidate the gift.
D.  An anatomical gift made by will takes effect upon the
donor’s death whether or not the will is probated.  Invalidation of
the will after the donor’s death does not invalidate the gift.
E.  The making of an anatomical gift shall not of itself be
construed to authorize or direct the denial of health care when the
withholding or withdrawal of such health care will result in or
hasten death of the donor.
