Talk:Hibakusha

message: Why are hibakusha discriminated against?  I just cannot understand why this would be the case.  If anyone with an insight into this could expand the entry to explain the justification for this kind of discrimination, I would be greatful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhennPhawcks (talk • contribs) 
:A quote from John Hersey's Hiroshima -- "Non-hibakusha employers developed a prejudice against the survivors as word got around that they were prone to all sorts of ailments, and that even those[...] who were not cruelly maimed and had not developed any serious overt symptoms were unreliable workers, since most of them seemed to suffer[...] from the mysterious but real malaise that came to be known as one kind of A-bomb sickness: a nagging weakness and weariness, dizziness now and then, digestive troubles, all aggravated by a feeling of oppression, a sense of doom, for it was said that unspeakable diseases might at any time plant nasty flowers in the bodies of their victims, and even those of their descendents." (pp. 93). Towards the end of the book it talks about the discrimination against hibakusha; you may want to take a look. - S. Komae (talk) 16:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

message: By the way, has the number alive on 31 March 2006 been published, or do they wait till August? —wwoods 06:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  As of 2006? 

message: The picture and quotes are very moving, but surely there must be more that can be put here. Describe the discrimination in fuller detail, the symptoms and effects experienced today by those still alive... are there any sort of associations, organizations, political lobbies? Are there special clinics or self-help centers or anything like that? LordAmeth 18:23, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Project Assessment

message: A (obviously fictional) hibakusha is VERY prominently feautured in the World War Z book by Max Brooks. In addition to surviving the zombies and all, he tells about his experience with the bomb (which blinded him) and the prejudices people had against him afterward. Should it be mentioned on this page?
::  No.  That isn't real.  People who survived Nagasaki or Hiroshima appear in fiction all the time because it's a poignant element.  74.192.158.110 (talk) 06:53, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  World War Z 

message: Can anyone elaborate who was the Buddhist monk who was very close to the blast area when the Hiroshima bomb went off and lived to tell the tale? Secondly who was the survivor nearest to the blast and continued to live for years afterwards? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.--Redblossom 17:30, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

message: How about Atomic Veterans? Shouldn't it be mentioned? Oda Mari 05:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly not in the article but perhaps in See Also. The link you cite is relevant but not particularly informative. Also, relative amount of suffering is a value judgement but does your ref belong here? Perhaps in Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki instead? Franamax 02:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Atomic Veterans  

message: Even though this is the main article, the information about hibakusha in the hibakusha section of the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki  is actually much more detailed (and better written) in the hibakusha section of the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Since that article is already quite long, woudn't it be better to merge that information into this article, and create a stronger article by combining that information with the lists of information here. XinJeisan (talk) 00:44, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: These are technically two different, but related, subjects: One article is about an event, the other article is about people. My preference would be to expand and develop the Hibakusha article. Certainly there is more that can be said about them.Dave (talk) 01:15, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry, the template was unclear.  I am not proposing to merge the entire article, just the specific section about hibakusha of the Atomic Bombings article into this one. XinJeisan (talk) 01:23, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My apologies as well. Yes, I understand now, with the template changes. I though you were proposing a complete merge of the articles. I support the idea of using content from the bombing article to expand the hibakusha article. I say just do it, I don't think any reasonable person would oppose. Dave (talk) 01:45, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do not take anything away from the article Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in whatever merge is completed. The material there is already presented as a summary, so there is no need to reduce it further. I have no problem whatever with that text brought here to help flesh out this article.

thread_title: Merge discussion

message: By far the largest dataset in existence regarding the long-term health effects of ionizing radiation in humans comes from the Hibakusha. It would be useful to include a section on the "LSS cohort" and the impact it has had on international standards for radiation protection. An editor looking for something to do could look up "LSS cohort" on google to find some references.--Yannick (talk) 03:07, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
