A quick definition of assisted self-determination:

Assisted self-determination is when someone helps another person make their own decisions about their life. This term is sometimes used to talk about assisted suicide, which is when someone helps another person end their life because of a serious illness or pain.

A more thorough explanation:

Assisted Self-Determination

Assisted self-determination is a term used to describe the process of helping someone make their own decisions about their life, especially when it comes to end-of-life decisions. This term is often used interchangeably with assisted suicide, which involves helping someone end their life.

One example of assisted self-determination is when a person with a terminal illness decides to stop receiving treatment and instead focus on palliative care. Another example is when a person creates an advance directive, which outlines their wishes for medical treatment in case they become unable to make decisions for themselves.

It's important to note that assisted self-determination is different from assisted suicide, which involves actively helping someone end their life. Assisted self-determination is about empowering individuals to make their own choices about their life, while assisted suicide is about ending it.

Assisted self-determination is about respecting an individual's autonomy and giving them the tools they need to make informed decisions about their life. The examples provided illustrate how this can be done in practice, whether it's through choosing palliative care or creating an advance directive. By supporting individuals in this way, we can help them maintain control over their life and ensure that their wishes are respected.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills
letsseehowitgoesnow
11:17
so washu only called one person
So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out
