You want to "take on the end of life", you want to "redesign death"? you want to be radical? and that means putting the metaphorial mirrors on the gurneys, and creating an iphone app "After I Go" and "reforming end-of-life care"?
Here's how you take it on if you really feel like being a radical: you upend the culture of pro-aging trance [1] that has gripped 99.9% of the world population:
- Aging/death is natural.
- Aging/death is good.
- Aging/death is normal.
- Aging/death is inevitable.
- Aging/death is necessary.
Believe it or not, everyone hates diseases, but everyone seems to love death (including most medical doctors and researchers), except when that deathist himself/herself is diagnosed with something terminal, or when it's too late in any other sense for that person.
When you have a good idea about how we could change that, I'd be more inclined to call you radical.

EDIT 1: I'm sorry if I sound harsh. I just feel very intensely about this topic.
