How can you be sure other organisms are not aware of their mortality, when death is so present in most organisms life? Is this assumtion anything more than an anthropocentric delusion, mistaking a gradual difference for a principal one? The epic of Gilgamesh also is a cautionary tale against environmental destruction. People living forever would take better care of their natural life base - unless they'd want to destroy it in a quest for death, to escape the horror of an infinite life;-)
