Should it be your legal duty to look after your parents?

Should it be your legal duty to look after your parents? And as it's Friday, we'll be playing Guess the Story with our studio guests.

After 1, Should it be your legal duty to look after your parents?
China is considering bringing in a law that would make adult children visit their elderly parents more often. Chinese politicians are concerned that old parents are being left alone because their children have moved away and are simply too busy or far away to take proper care of them. You could argue it's a similar situation here - and it's an issue many Asian families think about. But is it viable to make it your legal responsibility to care for old parents? Or is this legal proposal a good way of making people take responsibility and value their parents?

After 2 - It's the end of the week already, which means it's time for Guess The Story with our live studio guests.
