15-2-2 Liability for necessaries and on contracts - Disaffirmance.
A minor is bound not only for reasonable value of necessaries
but also by his contracts, unless he disaffirms them before
or within a reasonable time after he attains his majority
and restores to the other party all money or property received
by him by virtue of said contracts and remaining within his
control at any time after attaining his majority.

15-2-3 Limitation on right to disaffirm.
No contract can be thus disaffirmed in cases where, on
account of the minor's own misrepresentations as to his majority
or from his having engaged in business as adult, the other
party had good reason to believe the minor capable of contracting.
1953
15-2-4 Payment for personal services.
When a contract for the personal services of a minor has
been made with him alone, and those services are afterward
performed, payment made therefor to such minor in accordance
with the terms of the contract is a full satisfaction for
those services, and the parent or guardian cannot recover
therefor a second time.
1953
15-2-5 Blood donation by minor.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, any minor
who has reached the age of eighteen years may give consent
to the donation of his blood and to the necessary medical
procedures to accomplish such donation. Consent shall not
be subject to disaffirmance because of minority. The consent
of the parent or parents of a minor shall not be necessary
in order to authorize the donation of blood and such medical
procedures.
