Elder Orphans.....a Sad Term!

Our culture is going down the slide at break neck speed because of the violations of the principle of honoring father and mother, caring for aging parents. We have a new term that has been coined lately...sort of sad....."elder orphans." This term refers to elderly people who have no children to take care of them when they are too old to care for themselves. I am sad that there is even a need for such a term.
