It was ethical to drop the nuclear bombs. The main reason why is that it was the only way to end the war and stop Nazism for taking over completely. That doesn't make it any less devastating, but I feel like it was an essential act that the US made resposibly.

# data[].attributes.body
We should continue to invest in nuclear power because it will become more sustainable and less wasteful as time goes on. It also reduces the amount of CO2 emissions by a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
Dropping the bomb was the right decision, although it wasn't ethical. Obviously killing over 100,000 people isn't ethical, but it isn't that simple. This is war time and certain sacrifices should be made. Whether civilians should be sacrificed is another question. Civilians shouldn't be killed during wartime. However, compared to acts in WW2 such as the firebombing of Tokyo which killed over 100,000 people in a few days, the atomic bomb isn't as drastic as people think. It wasn't ethical, but the ends justified the means.

# data[].attributes.body
No, it was not ethical to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Dropping the nuclear bomb resulted in about 180,000 deaths, but on the other hand, continuing the war may have ended up with even more casualties. Although the United States was forced to make a decision (to continue the war or to drop the bombs), I believe that both options were unethical. It may have been more justified and slightly less unethical to drop the bombs, however.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was ethical to drop a bomb on just one of the cities but not both. Although Japan bombed Pear Harbor it was too much bombing both cities. The two bombs killed many innocent people.

# data[].attributes.body
While mass killing should be considered unjustified, I believe that it was ethical and logical to drop the nuclear bombs. This is because it helped to end one of the most destructive wars in history and possibly prevent further deaths.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes and no, it was a very tough decision to make but there was a possibility that more people would have died if the war continued to keep going. On the other hand though, we did obliterate two cities.

# data[].attributes.body
We should continue to invest in nuclear power, but these actions should be taken with extreme caution. Completely eliminating the use of nuclear power would also stop revolutionizing a new method of energy, which would lead to more carbon dioxide emissions. Also, nuclear power has proven to be very useful in the medical field with cancer and stem cell research. However, nuclear power in the wrong hands could destroy humankind as a weapon, and it should be used with foresight.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think it was ethical to drop the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Although somewhat necessary to end the war, it caused large amounts of casualties and ruined the land surrounding the bombing sites.

# data[].attributes.body
It was not ethical to drop the bomb on Japan, due to the many rapid innocent deaths caused by it and there could have been another way to end the war.

# data[].attributes.body
It was not ethical to drop atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, too many people died, and while it ended the war pretty fast, they could have put resources towards finding a different way of ending the war, one that doesn't kill so many.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it was ethical to drop the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because it was able to swiftly end the war, saving countless lives and might have prevented further actions of the Japanese military to attack American forces and citizens.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it was ethical to drop the nuclear bombs because prolonging the war could harm not only U.S citizens but, Japan citizens as well.

# data[].attributes.body
It was not ethical to drop the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because it killed innocent citizens and there could've been a less harmful way to ending the war.

# data[].attributes.body
We should continue to invest in Nuclear power because it is very good in saving natural resources such as coal and oil. In addition, nuclear power does not produce nearly as much emissions as other methods.

# data[].attributes.body
It was NOT ethical because innocent civilians were killed. UCMJ article 118 states "The killing of a human being is unlawful when done without justification or excuse." This is for service members but aimed at the killing of anyone, mainly innocent people. This code of conduct says premediated murder is unlawful in a military standpoint. Even if article 118 was implemented (1950) five years after the end of the war, the person(s) who ordered the attack can still be punished for a war crime.

# data[].attributes.body
We should continue to invest in nuclear power because of the lack of current research and application of it. Although there have been some tragedies as a result of faulty nuclear power management, it accounts for the fewest deaths per unit of energy.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, we should continue to invest in Nuclear Power. It is important to discover new information about elemental and nuclear stability/components and continue revolutionizing new technologies.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, we should continue to invest in nuclear power, because with it, we've already discovered so many medical treatments and energy that can be produced from nuclear power, and it would be a waste to stop.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes,  because Albert Einstein himself said that he doesn´t know what weapons WWIII will use, but he does know that WWIIII will be fought with sticks and stones. We should at least attempt to make this not happen for as long as possible as the human race.

# data[].attributes.body
We should continue to invest in nuclear power because it reduces the usage of coal, which can decrease the amount of people who have either cancer or lung disease, that was caused by the ash clouds.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, if we can find an efficient way to establish this worldwide it would be a great alternative to many of the other energy choices out there. This would only be temporary until we find a better alternative power, preferably off of Earth.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think that the US should ratify the UN treaty of nuclear disarmament. While nuclear power has proven to be very useful as a source of energy to replace fossil fuels, it has had substantial negative impacts as a war tool. Nuclear disarmament would prevent the use of nuclear weapons while also allowing nuclear energy to be used for more ethical causes, such as in the medical field. Although it may be effective during a war to use nuclear weapons in destroying the opposition, it also damages a substantial population and causes the land where it occurs to become unfit for human presence. Research should be done to find alternative methods that are able to pinpoint on their targets more effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
It is ethical because it was projected if they kept on continuing the war with japan there would be 4x as much casualties. In the final battles against Japan, the Japanese soldiers were commiting suicide by strapping bombs onto their chest and running into tanks. Civilians were doing the same.

# data[].attributes.body
It was not ethical to drop the nuclear bombs because although it ended the war quickly, many civilians who were innocent lost their lives, and the results of the bombing affected the cities for a long time after the war ended.

# data[].attributes.body
It was not ethical because it killed many people and it largely opened up the idea to use nuclear bombs across other countries.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with your statement and also believe that while the US took many lives, they prevent the loss of many more.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with your statement and it is true that it is hard to determine the ethicality of the choice.

# data[].attributes.body
We should continue to invest in nuclear power, but this should be take with serious precaution, due to many risks and dangerous accidents that happened in the
past.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the bombings were important to ending the war and Nazism, but was this necessarily ethical?

# data[].attributes.body
No, atomic weapons actually secure peace. Having a weapon that can instantly destroy the opponent means that war is less likely to occur. M.A.D (mutually assured destruction) has lessened the chances of large wars and imperialism. The only issue is that certain smaller nations can't afford nuclear weapons, which can be solved by giving them the technology through nuclear plants.

# data[].attributes.body
I see what you are saying with the amount of death that happened because of the bombs, but it was in retaliation to Japan bombing Pear Harbor and it was necessary to end the war.

# data[].attributes.body
Investing in nuclear power can find ways to make this type of technology less harmful. However, while this is happening, it would be impossible to stop people from using it as a weapon.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this statement. Not only is nuclear power a very useful and promising science but it is very dangerous. Regulations should be put into place that would at least reduce the possibility that someone can use nuclear weapons to get the upper hand in war.

# data[].attributes.headline
It do not agree because it was projected if they kept on continuing the war with japan there would be 4x as much casualties. However, I do think that we should've only dropped one nuke instead of 2.

Yes, the US should ratify the UN treaty of nuclear disarmament. Although using nuclear weapons during a war can quickly end the target, having these weapons as an option can lead to serious danger to humans and to the environement. Keeping a treaty would be able to make sure that people won't use this weapon for destruction.

# data[].attributes.body
We should to continue to invest in nuclear power as it offers reliable electricity with minimal greenhouse gas emissions, until other technologies such as solar and wind develop further and are implemented.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because nuclear energy is very efficient and unlike what the media says, it is the most safest energy source out there.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, there can be many accidents that happen while more testing this type of technology. I feel that it is still important to understand what new possibilities nuclear power can open up.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with your statement, having nuclear weapons does lessen the chances of wars.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that it prevented the deaths of more people. Specifically Americans. A nation should have the priorities of it's own people and not take a globalist stance.

# data[].attributes.body
Continuing to invest in nuclear power is the better choice, as nuclear energy doesn't deplete exhaustible resources like coal. It is also more effective than traditional carbon fuels and produces less greenhouse gas emissions.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with your statement because diverting use of nuclear technology for more ethical uses can benefit more people and lead to less deaths of large swaths of people.

# data[].attributes.body
Although I agree with the fact that M.A.D will lessen the chances of large wars, handing out nuclear weapons to smaller nations increases the chances of it falling into the wrong hands. Nuclear weapons have the power to destroy considerable populations, and discovering a different method to surpass the opposition would be beneficial to innocent bystanders.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that we should continue to use nuclear energy but we must inform the public that nuclear energy is safe and not as dangerous as the media points it out to be

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with your statement. While researching into nuclear power can do a lot of good, there would be no way to stop people from using it as a destructive weapon. There will always be people that don't have the same intentions to use nuclear power.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with your statement because although nuclear power does have many pros, we still need to take precaution due to it being very risky to deal with

# data[].attributes.body
The US should ratify the UN treaty of nuclear disarmament, because the US possessing nuclear weapons creates an imbalance of power that is dangerous to everyone. No country should be able to possess a lot of nuclear weapons, and ratifying the treaty will hold the US to their promise not to use these weapons.

# data[].attributes.body
The US should ratify it because of ethic codes. For power wise, it is a safer alternitive environmentally wise to use this as a source of power. But, it could be a WMD and the use of the power could be abused by government or military for, not just war, but control of the people. If the US were to ratify this treaty, there would be a lot less casualies of war.

# data[].attributes.body
I partly disagree, dropping the bombs on Japan was not ethical. But, it was a justified action in comparison to continuing the war. There wouldn't be many viable options that can end the war and at the same time, not result in many deaths.

# data[].attributes.body
While I don't necessarily think it was the most ethical thing to do, I agree that dropping the nuclear bombs was a logical thing for the US to do to protect its citizens and end the war.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you on the fact it was not ethical. It opened up a chance for nuclear war in the future because it gave other counrties the option to use this idea and technology "given" to them by the US.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that we should continue using nuclear power, but I don't agree that it's the safest source of power we have, since there is still a small chance of a nuclear meltdown. An example of something safer would be solar power.
