Introduction

Our group is the Scientist Group, with Kelsey Buechler, Marisa Martinez, Nick Overleas, Carson McCoy, Leanne Yelle, and (Me) Lianna Bush. As the scientists who developed and tested the bomb, we knew how unstable the atoms in a material like plutonium and uranium were and how they would fall apart with the smallest “nudge”. We were also aware of how much power these unstable atoms released when they were split and how many lives could be lost when this discovery was made into a weapon. We were aware of the severe effects of atomic radiation that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and pain that still affected people over thirty years later. We therefore, believe that dropping the atomic bomb on the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki was unnecessary and a terrible loss of life.
