Some people are not aware that carbon-based chemistry has an operating temperature which... surprise surprise... is below the water boiling point of 100ºC (~374K) So, if you put organic molecules in a fusion reactive star, at the nice cozy temperature of 10^34K (are you guys sure about this order of magnitude? seems too much, to me; I always thought the surface of the sun is at about 6000K and the interior a bit higher at ~20000K, but no matter), the molecules will, first disconnect every atom from the next, becoming a gas; then the atoms will lose some of their electrons, becoming a gas of ions which, in certain conditions of pressure and density, can become what is called a plasma and display a nice electro-magnetic behavior...
Anyway, individual ions are not very conducent to life, as what we define as life requires molecular bonds and other features not found in individual ions.
