520 _a"Most of us confront the fact of dependency in old age either as individuals looking to our own future or as family members who may be called upon to assist our aging relatives. Both roles raise ethical issues, some of them difficult to resolve. The aging individual asks, Whom may I ask for help? Do I have a right to ask for, or even to accept, help that would necessitate important sacrifices? In the ideal case, the principal concern of the son or daughter is how best to help the aging parent, but not all cases are ideal. What is done for Grandma may reduce what can be done for the granddaughter. And the past relationship of aging parent to adult child may not have been the kind that generates spontaneous devotion." (GENERATIONS) This article outlines the questions of justice governments must consider when allocating resources for long-term care and addresses the gender inequities that have historically defined family caregiving.
