I felt a resentment when the Hiroshima Mayor Mr. Matsui used a word, "groundless rumor" when he told the episode of Hibakusya (radiation-exposed people) bride rejected by a family.
放射能の遺伝的影響の残虐性を無視して、「ただの風評」にする人々は未来世代への重大な罪を犯している！
I truly believe those who ignore genetic effects of radiation and diminish them to a mere "groundless rumor" have been committing a serious crime against future generations!
私はそう思います！！！
I strongly believe so!!!

広島・長崎の遺伝的影響について
Genetic Effects after Hiroshima and Nagasaki Main Stream Scholars Never Mention
Genetic Effects after Hiroshima and Nagasaki Main Stream Scholars Never Mention
クリス・バズビー博士の「Wolves of Water」（2006）260－263ページより
Excerpt from Chris Busby, Wolves of Water, (2006), Green Audit Books, Aberystwyth, Wales, pp260-263.
こちらの情報は、ニュージーランドの友人、Kate Dewes女史からのもので、彼女は日本を訪問し、広島と長崎の被爆者と話をしています。被爆者とは、文字通り、爆発の影響を受けた人々という意味です。彼女の説明は非常に重要で、また興味深いものなので、ページを割きたいと思います。This comes from a New Zealand friend, Dr. Kate Dewes, who visited Japan and talked with the Hibakushas, victims of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese word translates literally to "explosion-affected people." Her account is so important and interesting that I will devote some space to it.

2001年6月、日本の平和活動家が、マーシャル島のMary Silk女史と私のために、日本の8つの都市で「太平洋の女性たちが独立と非核化を求めて語る」講演会をオーガナイズしてくれました。（私はこの時、一度通訳を頼まれて上記の写真が残っていました。）
In June 2001, Japanese peace activists organised a speaking tour of eight cities for Ms. Mary Silk from the Marshall Islands and myself, to launch the Japanese version of the book Pacific Women Speak Out for Independence and Denuclearisation. [Zohl de Ishtar-Ed WILPF (Aotearoa), Disarmament and Security Centre and Pacific Connections; Christchurch, 1998].
母親として、私たちは、今も続いている放射線による遺伝的影響について語りました。特に、米国が1954年に行ったBravo実験の後、女性たちが出産した「クラゲの赤ちゃん」や「紫のぶどう」について焦点をあてました。
As mothers, we spoke of our ongoing concerns about the genetic effects of nuclear radiation. Specifically, we highlighted the stories of women who had given birth to ‘jelly-fish babies’ and ‘bunches of purples grapes’ in the Marshall Islands following the US Bravo nuclear tests in 1954.
メディアが取り上げ、またこのセンシティブな問題を私たちがオープンに議論していたために、原爆の被爆者1世と2世の女性たちが私たちに連絡を取ってきて、彼らの子供たちに起こった放射線による遺伝的影響について、日本で隠ぺいが続いているという話をしてくださったのです。
As a result of the media attention and our openness in discussing these sensitive issues, first and second generation women hibakusha (atomic bombing survivors) approached us with stories of the cover-up which continues to take place in Japan over the genetic damage caused to their children.
長崎で講演をした後、キミエさんという23歳くらいの若い女性が、彼女の幼子の写真をくださり、海外で話を聞いてくれる人には誰にでもシェアしてくださいとお願いしてくれました。キミエさんは、自分は被爆者2世であり、妊娠期、年配の医師二人に、子供は先天性異常を持っているかもしれないと警告されたといいます。
After speaking in Nagasaki, a young woman called Kimie, aged about 23, gave me photos of her young son and asked me to share his story with anyone who would listen outside Japan. She told me that she was a second generation hibakusha, and that during her pregnancy she had been warned by two older doctors that her baby might be deformed.
彼女の息子が手に先天性異常を持って生まれたとき、彼女の夫は、彼女の両親が放射線を浴びたことを避難し、すぐに離婚したといいます。夫は自分の子供に連絡も取らないといいます。他の被爆者の女性と同様に、彼女も、話をすることで、差別に会い続けているといいます。彼女はほかの医師からは、通常、遺伝的影響は、放射線が原因とはされないので、彼女の息子は補償を受ける対象にはならないといわれたと言います。
When her son was born with a deformity to his hand, her husband blamed her grandparents’ exposure to radiation and immediately divorced her. He does not keep contact with his son. Like many other hibakusha women before her, she continues to suffer discrimination because she is speaking out. She was told by other doctors that genetic damage is not normally attributable to radiation, and that therefore her son would not be eligible for compensation.
しかし、私が高知市で400人の被爆者の診断をした森医師に会ったとき、彼は放射線起因の疾病は現在確実に34はあるといいました。1970年代、補償の件でマーシャル諸島に行ったことがある森医師は、米国政府が核実験後に先天性異常や精神発達遅延の子供を産んだマーシャル諸島の島民に補償を支払ったことを証明する書類を下さいました。
However, when I met Dr Mori - who had made diagnoses of 400 hibakusha -- in Kochi City, he confirmed that there are now 34 different illnesses recognised as radiation-induced. Having been to the Marshall Islands in the 1970s to help with compensation claims, he provided me with papers which proved the US government paid compensation to Marshallese who gave birth to deformed and mentally retarded children born after the nuclear tests.
例えば、背骨に腫瘍ができていた男の子や、甲状腺への影響で発育不全となっている子供は、それぞれ10万USドル受け取っていました。森医師はまた、1954年のビキニ核実験で、856隻の日本の漁船が被曝した中、少数の船員に研究がなされた話をしました。
For example, a boy born with a tumour on his spine, and those who had stunted growth due to effects on the thyroid gland, were each given US $100,000. He told me of research done on a few men from the 856 Japanese fishing boats exposed to radiation during the Bikini tests in 1954.
入院した船員たちは、精子の数を検査されたといいます。10人の男性が無静止状態となり、他の船員はそれぞれ、570,140,120だったといいます。しかし健康な男子の精子はｍｌあたり、5万から10万あるのです。ですから彼らのテスト結果は平均の１％以下であったわけです。8年たって、船員たちには子供ができましたが、精子は健康ではありませんでした。これらの船員たちにフォローアップの研究はなされていません。
Those who were hospitalised were tested for their sperm counts. There were 10 men without any sperm and, of the others, the number of sperm was 570, 140 and 120. A healthy man's semen would normally contain 50 -100,000 sperm per cu ml, so these results showed less than 1% of the average. After eight years the men had children, but the sperm was not healthy. There was no follow-up study done on these men.
私たちが日本を旅している間、年配の被爆者の女性と話をしたり、被爆二世の女性を通訳につけたりしていました。通訳の方たちは、自分たちも母親であるが、年配の被爆者の話にとても興味があり、放射線と遺伝的影響には関連があると信じているといっていました。そういうことで、これらの女性たちは私たちのことを信用し、1945年から、敢えて話さなかった問題をオープンに語ってくれたのでした。
As we traveled around Japan, we spoke with older women hibakusha, with second generation women hibakusha as interpreters. The interpreters explained that we were also mothers, we were genuinely interested in their stories, and we believed there was a link between radiation and genetic damage. The women therefore trusted us and talked openly about issues which they had often not dared mention since 1945.
中には、「紫のぶどうの房」の赤ちゃんを産んだ女性もいました。原爆投下から何年もたっていても、中絶を余儀なくされた母親もいました。ほとんどの女性が、生理が長い時で8年も止まりました。多くの女性が、先天性異常や知的障害を持った子供が隠されたことを知っていました。
Some of them had given birth to ‘bunches of purple grapes’; some had been forced to have abortions even years after the bombings; most had stopped menstruating for up to eight years, and they knew of many deformed and intellectually handicapped children who had been hidden away.
女性たちの友人には、夫や子供、孫にも自分が被爆者であることを隠している人たちもいるといいました。彼らは研究者は、生理の問題、流産の問題、先天性異常の子供たちの問題をほとんど尋ねることはなかったといいます。女性たちは、さらなる差別から身を守るために、しばしば嘘をついていたといいます。というのも、文化的に、このようなセンシティブな問題を男性に話すのは、不適切であったからです。
They spoke of friends concealing the fact that they had been hibakusha from their own husbands, children and grandchildren. They said researchers had rarely asked about menstruation problems, miscarriages, or deformed children. The women had often lied to protect themselves from further discrimination, and because it was culturally inappropriate to talk about these sensitive issues with men.
勇気のある女性の中には、自分の名前が記事になってもよいとしました。たとえば、橋爪あやさんは、小頭症で生まれた子供を知っていました。長野はつえさんは3人の娘と2人の息子、5人の孫と2人のひ孫がいます。彼女も彼女の夫も広島の被爆者です。彼女は2人目の男の子は生まれたとき、非常に小さくて弱かったといいます。そして黒人のようでしわが寄っていたそうです。助産婦は、男の子の見かけが尋常でないので驚いたといいます。彼女は3年間、毎日病院に連れて行かねばならなかったといいます。
Some brave women were prepared to have their names published. For example, Bun Hashizume knew of babies born with small heads. Nagano Hatsue has 3 daughters and 2 sons, 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. She and her late husband were both hibakusha from Hiroshima. She said her second son was really small and very weak when he was born - he looked black and very wrinkled. The midwife was very surprised because he looked so unusual. She had to take him to the hospital every day for 3 years. Another son suffers from diabetes.
彼女の娘の一人は、今でも貧血に苦しみ、非常に疲れやすいといいます。そして彼女には甲状腺の問題もあります。医師たちは、これらの病気は放射線とは関係ないといいます。彼女は医師たちが、彼女の子供たちの健康や不妊や流産などについて聞いてくれたこともないといいます。だから文書に残ることもないのです。
One of her daughters still suffers .from anaemia and gets very tired - she also has thyroid problems. The doctors say these illnesses are not related to radiation. She said that doctors never asked her about the health of her children or anything to do with her fertility and miscarriages - it was therefore not documented.
彼女は長男を妊娠していた時に原爆が落ちました。長男には肝臓障害がありますが、今の主治医は放射線との関連を否定します。長男とともに訪れた最初の医師は、放射線に関連することを認めていました。She was pregnant with her first son when the bomb was dropped. He has liver problems which his current doctor refuses to acknowledge as attributable to radiation. The first doctor she saw with him admitted that it was radiation-related.
長崎の横山てる子さんは、1948年に生まれた末の妹について書きました。7歳の時に全身に紅斑ができ、ひどい腹痛に襲われたといいます。被爆者は原爆後にそういう症状が表れる人がいます。
Teruko Yokoyama of Nagasaki has written about her youngest sister born in 1948. At the age of 7 she developed purpura (or red blotches) all over her body and suffered bad stomach aches. Some hibakusha experienced the same symptoms soon after the bombing.
まんぜん春子さんは広島の原爆が落ちたとき9歳でした。2003年8月に広島地方裁判所に、彼女は爆心地から２．６ｋｍ離れていたけれど、彼女の義理の父母は1960年に妊娠した際に中絶するように言ったといいます。彼女は何度も流産し、1962年には、避妊のために子宮を摘出したといいます。
Ms. Haruko Manzen was 9 years old when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She gave evidence in the Hiroshima District Court in August 2003, to the effect that, although she had been 2.6 km from the hypocentre, her parents-in-law told her to have an abortion when she became pregnant in 1960. She had several miscarriages and in 1962 had her ovaries removed to prevent pregnancies.
原爆投下後、広島と長崎の助産婦たちは、先天性異常を持つ赤ん坊について非常に憂慮していました。1954年出版の『保健と助産』では、1950年1月1日から1953年12月31日まで3万150人の赤ちゃんが生まれました。
After the bombings, midwives in Hiroshima and Nagasaki became very concerned about the number of deformed babies being born. In the September 1954 issue of Health and Midwifery, it was reported that about 30,150 births were observed in Nagasaki from 1 January 1950 to 31 December 1953:
原爆投下の前は、出生した子供のうち、先天性異常を持つ子供は、大変低い割合でした。ところが、投下9年後に異常率が急激に増大しました。30150人のうち、471人が死産、181人が流産でした。生まれてきた赤ちゃんのうち、3630人に異常があり、その内訳は以下の通りです。
Before the bomb was dropped the proportion of abnormal children to those born healthy was very low, but in the nine years since the bomb was dropped this proportion has changed enormously. Of 30,150 babies born, 471 were stillborn and 181 abortions. Of those born alive, 3,630 were abnormal and the abnormality was divided as follows:
- 1046 children suffered from degeneration of the bone, muscle, skin or nervous system
- 429 from deformation of organs of smell and hearing
- 254 from malformation of lip or tongue
- 59 had a cleft palate
- 243 suffered from malformation of the inner organs
- 47 from deformation of the brain
- 25 children were born without a brain
- 8 without eyes and sockets of the eyes.
In recent years hibakusha, keen to get this information out to the wider community, have sent me details of other Japanese research into this issue. For example, Mr Tajima Yatarou evaluated that there were 63,000 (Hiroshima) and 42,000 (Nagasaki) babies born to hibakusha between 1946 and 1980. He stated that there was a potential increase in the number of abnormal babies due to genetic effects of 11-16% in Hiroshima and 5-7% in Nagasaki [Tajima Yatarou, ‘Genetic Effects of Radiation: The Cases of Hiroshima and Nagasaki’, Nagasaki Igakukai Zasshi,, 1972, p. 336].
Professor Yoshikazu Sakamoto observed that “foetal exposure to radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought about a higher rate of congenital deformation, particularly microcephalia and mental retardation as compared with those who have not experienced such exposure." He confirmed that it was “not easy to say anything definitive on the 'second generation' on the basis of statistically reliable data, because a large number of survivors and their children have not disclosed information on their experience and they... fear that they would lose their opportunity for employment, marriage and bearing offprings." He suggested that "the second generation and the generations to come have to live under the constant fear that they, after the interval of decades, would suddenly be afflicted by fatal diseases."
