For the purposes of the debate, the "lifespan trade" refers to the ability of individuals to buy and sell years of life. If an individual sells 5 years of life, their lifespan will be cut short by 5 years; if an individual buys 5 years of life, they will live for an additional 5 years. The lifespan trade does not affect the normal ageing process, and it is impossible to know the date of one's natural death.

"Therapy speak" refers to the significant expansion of psychological and medical language and concepts to daily life, outside of the academic context.

This could include but is not limited to:
- using terms like "toxic" or "gaslighting" when talking about interactions, friendships, or relationships in situations that do not meet the academic definition of these terms
- referring to the urge to tidy up as "OCD", or a temporary inability to focus as "ADHD"
- partaking in speculative psychiatric diagnoses of others, including public figures

Devolution is the transfer of power from a central government to subnational (e.g., state, regional, or local) authorities. These territories have the power to make legislation relevant to the area and thus granting them a higher level of autonomy; this includes areas such as healthcare, law enforcement, education, etc.
