If it is my decision to be a donor, why do I need my parent's signature?

Until you reach the legal age of 18, a parent or guardian must give their signed permission for health care decisions. It is still a very important personal decision that you are making. Indiana residents renew their driver license every four years. A teenager's decision at age 16 will impact their lives until the time they renew their license four years later. It is a vital decision teens make that will have a lasting impact on their lives, because once they turn 18 the decision they made at age 16 is supported by the Indiana Donor Choice Law.
