And it's a long way from 'survived' to 'prospered'. Are we sure this is the most humane thing to do?

I don't think society is at a place where asking whether something is the most humane towards tardigrades makes sense to most people.

Yeah, but somehow blasting tardigrades with an electron beam to write on them feels a little cruel to me.
