AS we remember the victims of the Hiroshima atomic bomb on August 6 1945, the 73rd anniversary, it is absolutely vital for our collective survival to re-examine the human cost of developing, possessing and using nuclear weapons.
In total, alongside the bombing of Nagasaki on August 9 1945, more than 200,000 people lost their lives over the course of three days from the impact of just two atomic bombs.
Thousands more would die in the months and years after August 1945 from the injuries sustained as a result, as well as from the appalling genetic damage that the bombs inflicted.
