    They turn into a soup-like homogenate. As is natural in the life cycle of a lab mouse.

    And if they weren't euthanized they would almost certainly die of horrible horrible cancerous tumors. Not because of anything the labs do, but because it's a crime against nature for a mouse to live past maybe 2 years.
