| Zusammenfassung: | In this essay, analyzing the "daughter track" of daughter-provided elder care, through feminist philosopher Lisa Tessman's "burdened virtues" framework, I examine the ethical questions surrounding gender, sacrifice, and elder care on the daughter track, particularly concerning contexts of virtue and necessity. Second, I examine how Tessman's "burdened virtues" framework applies to the "daughter track" situation, particularly regarding virtues born of necessity. Third, I examine some wider legal and social justice issues that remain unresolved in eldercare provision by daughters. Finally, I conclude with some reflections on the "daughter track" as a law and religion issue and how law, in particular, might better support women in being not only "dutiful daughters," but "graceful pillars," in the care of their elders. |
