Do you believe that all(or none) nations have a right to nuclear technology?

Leave out practical or consequential considerations and tell me if you think that every nation has a right to nuclear technology? Or none at all, which is the corollary?





Or do you believe that it is justified(remember - not safer, justified) that a few nations claim monopoly over nuclear weapons and technology and continue to drag their feet over disarmament, thereby postponing the corollary situation indefinitely?|||Quagmire. Since the US was foolish enough to invent this moronic device, they have opened a can of worms.





Well, personally, I don't think any nations should have a right to nuclear weapons. Of course, that would be a fantasy world. With this being the case, the only nations that should have them are nations that are capable of actually maintaining peace with every other nation. This, too, would be a fantasy world. Overall, I think every nation should destroy their nuclear weapons as well as any trace of information regarding how to build nuclear weapons. Once again, this would be a fantasy world.





Quagmire.|||None should have them, but they are here, so a few will have them to the exclusion of others would be by far the safest most practical way to go.





Nuclear reactors for generating electricity should be available to anyone who wants them to generate power under many assumptions concerning their safe use, that includes not being used in weapons programs as well as not causing a Chernobyl.





Access to the technology no. Access to nuclear reactors to generate power, yes, but highly controlled.|||As with any technology, nuclear can be used for constructive (power stations)or destructive purposes (bombs). It seems that some nations would like to have nuclear weapons to threaten the world and to attempt to impose their ideology and world view. Thus nuclear technology should probably be in the hands of those who seem to have a responsible attitude to it. As with all technologies, it is difficult to put the genie back in the bottle once it is released.|||It isn't that we have a "right" to it. Once we have the knowledge, it can't simply go away. We have it and we are stuck with it and must use it responsibly. As for some others... their violent behavior towards other countries and their public admissions that they must kill any who do not conform (infidels) shows they can not be trusted with this destructive power. It isn't a matter of being fair. "Fair" doesn't count when millions of lives are at risk.





So yes. Limiting nuclear technology is justified.|||Disarmament is a pipe dream. Powerful Nuclear nations do not want non nuclear nations to have nuclear capability. so they will eternally drag their feet on the matter. But countries like Pakistan will sell nuclear technology to groups like Taliban /Alquaida for various political benefits. So by and by all Nations will have their nuclear technology.|||You simply can not put away safety away %26amp; discuss this topic.





Without considering safety aspect, it is needless to discuss this topic.|||Not a regime like the Islamic Republic (Iran) which has no regards for human rights and stones its own citizens to death.|||Only the advanced nations should have it.





Such as the ones who invented it.





That would be us, in case you flunked history class....|||There is no "right" to nuclear technology|||If everyone has nukes, no one will use them. The threat of obliteration prevents people from using them.|||Ever nation feels they need it


With Iran, the US and other countries are so hypocritical|||everyone has right to get nuked by yankees.|||I think so but not nuclear weapons I'm afraid of nuke getting the hands of a terrorist.|||aha....another pointless argument that has no right answer....nuke iran !|||Some.





Its not an all or nothing deal
