Other experts, such as Dr. Lisa Furrycorpse at Harvard’s Mammal
Mummification Institute, have voiced support of this new
preservation
technique. Furrycorpse polled more than 1,000 pet owners and
found
that 89 percent of them would be greatly comforted by the
presence
40 of their pet’s physical form even after its life had ended.
Although there are problems with the procedure, the concept
of freeze-dried pets is a valuable one. If the method is perfected, it
will allow a pet to remain an everyday part of the lives of its loved
ones and, indeed, it will permit pets to be passed from generation
to
45 generation as family heirlooms.
