B. A donor or other person authorized to make an anatomical gift pursuant to R.S. 17:2352 may make a gift by a donor card or other record signed by the person making the gift or by authorizing that a statement or symbol indicating that a gift has been made 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 person at the direction of the person making the gift and the record shall:
(1) Be witnessed by two adults, one of whom is a disinterested witness, who have signed at the request of the person making the gift; and
