Anatomical Gift Directive, Revoking
Any donor may amend or revoke his or
her Anatomical Gift Directive at any
time.
If the donor has possession of the only copy of the Anatomical Gift
Directive, he or she may simply destroy that document.
If the Anatomical Gift Directive has been delivered to a
donee, Bank, or any other storage facility or physician, there are four
methods to amend or revoke the document:
1. Deliver an executed statement of
amendment or revocation to the donee.
2. Make an oral statement of amendment or revocation in the presence of two
witnesses, which must then be communicated to the donee.
3. Make a statement of amendment or revocation to an
attending physician
during a terminal illness
or injury, which is then communicated to the donee.
4. Create a signed statement of amendment or revocation that will be
discovered on the donor's person or in the donor's effects.
