Death is the permanent end of the life of biological organisms- Wikiquotes
There is a process no living thing could evade, an inevitable stage. From every indications, it has no specific timing; it comes beckoning without alerting. It had taken my loved ones away when i least expected, my dad and mom.
So i'll like to take the pain to examine the necessity of Death with the resources available for the living.
"Death is the necessary mechnism to maintain a balanced resouces" -@gavvet
With your permission and due respect dear @gavvet i will like to disect this quote from your last post; what if the entire population is wiped out of an Eco-system, then what resources is needed to be maintained or rationalised?
I have been asking myself this same question since reading the post THE EVOLUTION OF ADAM- THE BIOLOGICAL PURPOSE OF DEATH
DOES DEATH HAS BENEFITS
Is there any direct benefits from the death of another organisms?
A yes and a No!
Taking humans first to justify the No- It is a devastating effects on the surviving ones.
There is a termination of all familiar bond coupled with social detachment from the dead and this has varied results on the family or friends behind like grief, depression or maybe suicide.
For animals and plants, yes death has so many benefits. A dead animal provides food for thousands other organisms there by sustaining more lives- Illustrations
A dead Antelope

Vultures, Carnivores, Insects,Microbes, fertilizer the soil- bring good crops.
A biological necessity and yet a mechanism as seen in the above analysis, but this principle does not apply to higher animals-intelligent species.
THE BALANCE OF NATURE
Scientifically, evolution and struggle for survival is the surest mechanism to balance resources for all living organism in a particular habitat. The intervention of human into any Ecology has both a good and a devastatimg effects on the resources ans organisms.
The theory that proposes that ecological systems are usually in a stable equilibrium i.e a small change in some particular population will be corrected by some negative feedback that brings the parameter back to it's original "point of balance" with the rest of the system.
From this assertions, death could be a Biological necessith and at the same time a resources balancing process taking a cue from:
"The predator/prey" system and also herbivorous and their food source.
In essence, Biodiversity and the Ecosystem service is a strong factor determining the function of death as a resources balancing process or a necessary Biological system.
Immortality might not neccessarily mean an unbalanced resources!

It's both, my friend! Having managed cemeteries for over 10 years, I'm something of an expert on the subject. Death is an end and a beginning... a metaphysical transmogrification. On one hand there is physical death (which you described), it maintains a balance and a biological necessity at the same time (bodies are not designed to last forever).
But the spirit (soul) is eternal. Epicurus- of the Atomist school of philosophy- wrote: "There is nothing to fear in death for death is merely the dissolution of atoms (physical) and there is nothing to fear in the dissolution of atoms, for when death occurs the soul has already departed."
Wow....10 years is long my friend.
Death is a complex talk, i wonder if those on the other thinks the same thing as us here...
Here's what I think my friend... God puts us here as a test. If we pass the test, we graduate and go some place good. If we flunk...
So true, never thought you are as religious as me old friend...
You see... You just never know!

YOU ARE DEFINITELY RIGHT BOSS
IT SURELY HAS BENEFITS TO MANKIND
THAT EVOLUTION OF ADAM POST WAS A WONDERFUL ONE
INDEED IT MAINTAIN BALANCE OF THE ECOSYSTEM
ALTHOUGH IT IS UNPLEASING TO LOSE LOVED ONES WE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF MANDKIND
HOWEVER THERE IS MORE TO IT
You bet there is more to it...
Sure boss
