'Ultimately the ethical/ political question of the nuclear power station is not only "is it safe?" but also "is this the sort of humans that we want to become?" (Introna, 2013: 267)

Even those who try to understand rationally and scientifically the problems over Fukushima had better ponder about what the quotation above means.

Each of us inevitably holds particular values, moral and evaluative preferences toward a variety of things surrounding her/him.

Since neither rationality nor scientific approach can be treated as a kind of universal law to which any of us has to subscribe, these never validate one's ethical correctness.

Ethical correctness is always determined socially.

Considering the multiplicity of variance in people and contexts in which they are situated, even serious pursuit of rational decision excluding political interests, emotions, sentiments or feelings should not assert its correctness towards other people. Rather, one has to keep on pursuing better ways to converse with each other.

Turning down seemingly irrational sentiments is actually serious violation of ethical practices.
