when they are physically, mentally and financially unable to take

of themselves.

Although

young family

members

are legally obligated to be responsible for the

care

Use synonyms

of their

parents

Use synonyms

, I strongly agree that they should be legally responsible to do so.

First

Linking Words

and foremost, from an ethical point of view, it's certainly the responsibility of a child to look after their

parents

Use synonyms

when they are not able to look after themselves physically, mentally and financially.

This

Linking Words

is because mothers and fathers have invested a lot of their effort and hard-earned money to ensure their children grew up successful and happy.

Therefore

Linking Words

, when the inevitable time comes and older family

members

Use synonyms

are no longer able to take of themselves, it's the child's turn to give the attention they've received when they were young.

For instance

Linking Words

, in South Korea, children are expected to

care

for their mothers and fathers financially and physically once they become adults.

As a result

,

this

Linking Words

ideology shouldn'

t

Use synonyms

be done for moral and ethical reasons but as a legal requirement.

Thus

Linking Words

,

such

Linking Words

a belief should be made a legal requirement for younger family

members

Use synonyms

to look after older family

members

Use synonyms

.

Secondly

Linking Words

, once

parents

Use synonyms

become no longer able to sustain themselves due to physical, mental and financial instability, they won'

t

Use synonyms

have the ability to survive. Without assistance from their family

members

Use synonyms

, it's a sad, lonely and painful battle that has a disastrous result. As an example, it's a legal obligation for moms and dads to ensure their offspring aren'

t

Use synonyms

starved to death since newborns aren'

t

Use synonyms

physically, mentally and financially stable.

Accordingly

Linking Words

, when older family

members

Use synonyms

grow too old and are no longer able to survive, it should be a legal responsibility of the offspring to do the same.

Hence

Linking Words

, younger family

members

Use synonyms

should be made legal carers and hold full responsibility for supporting their

parents

Use synonyms

. In conclusion,

although

Linking Words

most family

members

are responsible for looking after their

parents

Use synonyms

are solely for moral and ethical reasons, I strongly agree that doing so should be made a legal requirement.
