Title: Donació i trasplantament d'òrgans als Estats Units d'Amèrica. Traducció de la "National Organ Transplant Act"
Author: Gonzalo Navarro, Irene
Tutor: Godayol, Pilar  
Abstract: The National Organ Transplant Act was implemented in the United States on the October 1984. It is a law that was mainly useful to regulate the donation and transplantation of organs in the country. In order to understand the law and compare it with the existing laws in Catalonia and Spain, some of the fragments that explain the creation process of the law, the organization of the country to fulfill its requirements, and also the prohibition of organ purchasing have been translated. Once the translation is completed, an analysis has been written to talk about the main characteristics of the translation process, leaving behind general aspects of the legislative translation. That is, the literalness of the text, the grammatical and syntactic characteristics, the problems when translating capital letters or the non-sexist language strategies used. Moreover, the most important style characteristics of legal translation, also present on the text, are explained in the end of the analysis, among other aspects. To sum up, a translation with such importance, in an academic context, not only helps in consolidating the knowledge learned during the academic years, but also prepares you for the legal translation world. Also, knowledge on organ donation and transplantation in the United States as well as on Spain and Catalonia have been acquired, a subject not always known by the citizenship and especially sensible for the author of this assignment.
