If the donor or other person is physically unable to sign a record, the record may be signed by another individual at the direction of the donor or the other person and shall:
(1) Be witnessed by at least two other individuals who are at least eighteen years of age, one of whom is a disinterested witness, who have signed at the request of the donor or the other person; and
