This week: People in Chains
The problem of what to do with dependent relatives has always concerned our society. But in the end it is with the individual - a member of the family - that the responsibility lies. There is probably no harder test of family loyalty than when one person sacrifices his or her life to look after another. The people clamped together by family loyalties are often disparate people-relations whose relationship is one of blood alone; people who have had to choose between sending dependants into a home and being free; or looking after them and being chained.
