- Argument I states that such a matter can only be solved by legal means. This is a sweeping generalization and likely false, as social, moral, ethical, and familial responsibilities, along with community and governmental non-legal support systems, also play roles in elder care. The use of "only" makes the argument weak. - Argument II states that only legal responsibility will bring some relief to poor parents. This is also an overstatement. While legal backing can provide support, it's not the only source of relief. Government welfare schemes, charities, community support, and the potential for non- legally enforced familial support can also provide relief. The use of "only" makes this argument weak as well.
