Because they do not want to destroy the DNA for future investigations. Today we just need some 15 -20 cells, in a few years time we just need around 5.

Good idea probably. Worth looking into. I can't believe it would harm the body or inhibit study of the remains. Of course, Oetzi would have to be sealed in a container, then irradiated, then left alone. That would probably inhibit study. ;') I seem to recall that, when the body was found, some souvenir hound tried to pull off the fur coat, which damaged the body.
