Technically that qualifies.  It is far milder than certain other uses,

Actually I would put those two as less so, since they are less purely bio,
even if more extreme in other measures.

Yes, but that is not directly life extension.  Transhumanism includes a lot
more than biohacking, but within certain very narrow domains they become
the same in practice.
