Before reading Hiroshima, I had not realized the effects that the Manhattan

Project had on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It made me realize how severely people's

lives were effected, even years later and through the next generation. After reading

this story, my sympathy goes to all involved in this incident in Japan. How could

our government commit such an unethical crime?

No, it is not ethical to man slaughter innocent civilians over a conflict they are not directly involved in.

In all modern wars, people must take on the burden of wrestling with the ethical criteria that war must satisfy if it is ever to be permitted.

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was a nuclear disaster at the Fukushima

Nuclear Power Plant that resulted in a nuclear meltdown of three of the plant's

six nuclear reactors due to a tsunami. People in the surrounding area evacuated

immediately and are said to not have been effected, but the Pacific Ocean was

greatly polluted.

Those who do survive higher radiation doses have a considerably higher risk

of developing some cancers, such as lung cancer, thyroid cancer, breast cancer,

leukemia, and cancer of several organs.

What were the after effects to the survivors?

# data[].attributes.body
-Immediately= At Hiroshima, within a radius of half a mile, the only remains of most of the people caught in the open were their shadows burnt into stone

-Short term= The effects of exposure to high levels of radioactive fall-out include hair loss, bleeding from the mouth and gums, internal bleeding and haemorrhagic diarrhoea, gangrenous ulcers, vomiting, fever, delirium and terminal coma. There is no effective treatment and death follows in a matter of days.

-Long term= Radiation-induced cancers will affect many, often over twenty years later. Certain cancers such as thyroid cancer in children are particularly associated with exposure to radiation.

-Cost of the Manhattan Project: $20,000,000,000

-More than 140,000 civilians, all passing rigorous background checks, worked at various locations on the Manhattan Project

-The project was originally named "Development of Substitute Materials," but there was concern that the name was too suggestive of its real purpose

-All those in the test area had been advised to wear welder's goggles and to look away from the bomb when it exploded, even though the primary viewing station was 20 miles away

-It was so secret that Harry S. Truman, although vice president of the United States, was not made aware of its existence until after the death of Roosevelt in 1945

We follow like ants,

Never thinking for ourselves.

When will this all end?

Learning to not ask questions,

Things will never change this way

Yet the sun still smiles!
