Like with extreme temperatures, life is too pitifully fragile to endure, and complex multi-celled organisms definitely cannot withstand very high doses of radiation.
Single celled organisms may survive, but I don't rate our chances once our blood turns to water.
Some multicellular animal life of targigrade variety, fairly high on the ladder of complexity as far as these things go, have proven remarkably resistant not only to heavy doses of hard radiation, but also temperature above boiling point of water, below freezing point of saturated salt water, and hard vacuum. They in short can survive a trip to mars on the outside of a spacecraft.
