Any time people start "redefining" things, go to red alert.
What they generally mean when they say they want to "redefine" x is:
Let's start pretending that non-x things as x things.
e.g.: woman.
What they really mean here is something like one of the following:
[1] We have a new theory of what death is; death is really [etc.]
or
[2] We need to stop focusing on death for certain purposes and focus instead on [etc.]
I'm certainly willing to listen to their case.
But it's crucial to have a clear view of their motives here: they want your organs for transplant.
