The term appears to be used as far back as 1980<ref>[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=zgJ5KsBQjqgC&q=%22radical+life+extension%22&dq=%22radical+life+extension%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjI24il8IXPAhXIK8AKHU5CBNkQ6AEIMjAB Should doctors play God?]</ref> in a medical journal and 1983 in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Foundation Ford Foundation] publication.<ref>[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=gXErAQAAIAAJ&q=%22radical+life+extension%22&dq=%22radical+life+extension%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwis-pqd74XPAhWHAsAKHa04AZAQ6AEIOTAC Letter - Ford Foundation]</ref> The early 90's internet features mentions on the [[CryoNet]] mailing lists.<ref>[http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=705 Isaac Asimov, R.I.P.]</ref> 2002 saw mention on the [[Foresight Institute]] mailing lists,<ref>[https://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=1328 Radical Life Extension goes Mainstream]</ref> and in 2003 on the [[Longevity Meme]] list.<ref>[http://www.theusenetarchive.com/usenet-message-longevity-meme-newsletter-september-08-2003-112392788.htm Longevity meme newsletter, september 08 2003]</ref>

More recently the term has greatly risen in popularity since the early 2010's along in the boom in biotech and anti-aging research<ref>[http://www.inc.com/eric-markowitz/immortality-the-next-great-investment-boom.html Immortality: The Next Great Investment Boom]</ref> to the point that in 2015 the now influential [[Coalition for Radical Life Extension]] chose to use the name.

[[Ilia Stambler]] describes radical life extension as "far beyond the present [[life span|life expectancy]]" – specifically, more than 120 years.<ref name="stambler>[[Ilia Stambler|Stambler, Ilia]]. (2014). [http://www.longevityhistory.com/book/Ilia%20Stambler%20-%20A%20History%20of%20Life-Extensionism%20in%20the%20Twentieth%20Century.pdf ''[[A History of Life-extensionism in the Twentieth Century]]''.] ISBN [[Wikipedia:Special:BookSources/1500818577|1500818577]]. "The term life-extensionism is meant to describe an ideological system professing that radical life extension (far beyond the present life expectancy) is desirable on ethical grounds and is possible to achieve through conscious scientific efforts. [...] As a rule of thumb, when the earnestly expressed aspirations amount to 100-120 years, the life-span attained by humanity’s longest-lived, the person who expresses them might be characterized as a “moderate life-extensionist” or simply a 'life-extensionist.' Beyond that period, the aspirant may be termed a 'radical life-extensionist.'"</ref>
