Are you sure all organic lifeforms are carbon based. That is a pretty big
assumption. Sure it holds true on earth (at least as far as we have explored)

I believe that there is some decent speculation, if not actual study of the
possibilities of silicon and other metalloid elements (boron maybe?)
In Star Trek, Vulcans have green blood because their blood cells are based in
copper, not iron. They are still carbon based, but theorizes that different
ratios of available elements on a planet are going to affect the ratio of those
elements in lifeforms.
