According to the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, what is the minimum age that an individual may execute a document of gift?

• A. 15 years of age upon the written consent of a parent or guardian
• B. 16 years of age upon the written consent of a parent or guardian
• C. 17 years of age upon the written consent of a parent or guardian
• D. 18 years of age upon the written consent of a parent or guardian

Answer: (A)

Under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, a person may execute a document of gift starting at age 15, with written consent from a parent or guardian if the individual is under 18. This allows a minor who is capable of understanding the decision to participate in organ or tissue donation, while involving a parent or guardian for younger adolescents. If the donor is 18 or older, no parental consent is required. The minimum age to execute the document is 15, which is why that option is correct.
