Some believe that younger family members should be legally responsible for supporting older family members when they become physically, mentally and financially unable to look after themselves.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Undeniably, young individuals in the family should be bound by the laws to take the onus to bolster their loved ones in their twilight years, whereas some dissent this view. I would analyze this perception profoundly and deliver a plausible verdict.
Those in their golden years invested their whole life in earning humongous amounts to serve their wards with appropriate care, nourishments and state-of-the-art facilities: education, and even they invested their savings in the betterment of their offspring. It has been witnessed that individuals rarely look after their elders. Therefore, the law should be implemented on the populace and the younger generations should be responsible to reciprocate for all the care, and fulfill the basic requirements: medicine, food, clothes, and many more, of their elders. To corroborate, a survey carried out by Miss Ceilia proves that in India, seventy percent of the older populace are living a happy life with their family due to the law imposed by policy makers on the youngsters.
However, those skeptical of this view assert that legally binding youngsters to serve their parents in their advanced years is not a practical decision; most of the elderly individuals suffer from disparate health issues that need to be monitored by professionals: nurses, and many are burdened with such expenses because they are nor economically stable to bear the costs, and render appropriate services to their parents. Thus, the governments should take the responsibility of such individuals; they had paid colossal monetary resources in form of taxes.
In hindsight, even though both the opinions hold- true in their own virtue, the current generation should don the mantle to support their mothers and fathers in their twilight years; the latter has devoted their life to rendering services for the betterment of the former.
