AN OPINION

Topic: Do you think old people should be looked after by their families when they become too old to manage by themselves?

I think that old people should be the state's responsibility, not the family's. They should be given financial support, so that they can end their lives without worrying about money. If they wish to live in their own houses, but need special care, this should be given by a government nursing system.

The problem of looking after old people is grater today than ever before. It is difficult for them to be properly cared for by the family because quite often both parents go out to work.

In conclusion I believe that families can't look after their old people satisfactorily nowdays, and that this should be the responsiblity of the state.
