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?

when the older ones are not able to take concern of themselves because of physical, mental or financial problems of theirs and
this
should be mandatory by law which I disagree with since everybody does not have the same economic situations, living conditions or relationships with parents as younger

.
First

of themselves, but the young
members
might not have these opportunities because of their work hours or low income.
In addition
to that, some
people
live in different cities or even different countries than their extended families.
Thus
, even if they desire to look after them without legal enforcement, they couldn’t do it because of their conditions.
For example
,their locations,work or money.
Secondly
, even though they have the power to support them considering time, revenue or short distance, they would not want to do it because of their relationships with their older ones. There is a good chance, they have never known them before and assisting the older
members
of your family whom you have never met as an obligation which is created by law would not be fair to them.
Furthermore
, some
people
have some terrible memories with the older including mistreatment in abusive aspects so, they should not be their caretakers considering their physical and psychological health. To conclude, there are many
people
who think that taking care of the older
members
when they couldn’t be legal responsibility for the young
members
of a family which I totally disagree with since financial and personal circumstances would show some alteration among individuals.
