97.957 Methods of making anatomical gift before death of donor.

(1) A donor may make an anatomical gift:

(a) By a designation on the donor s driver license or identification card;

(b) In a will;

(c) 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;

(d) By a donor card or other record signed by the donor or other person making the gift; or

(e) By authorizing that a statement, symbol or designation indicating that the donor has made an anatomical gift is to be included on a donor registry.

(2) If the donor or other person authorized to make an anatomical gift under ORS 97.955 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:

(a) 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

(b) State that it has been signed and witnessed as provided in paragraph (a) of this subsection.

(3) Revocation, suspension, expiration or cancellation of a driver license or identification card upon which an anatomical gift is indicated does not invalidate the gift.

(4) 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.

(5) An anatomical gift made by a designation on the donor s driver license or identification card is conclusively presumed valid. [2007 c.681 4; 2009 c.106 1]
