It still comes down to if your company is made of people or lizards.

Recruiters can take your answer as "this person has sick elderly relatives, who are surely not going to get any better during his employment".

If they are people, they will respect you.

If they are lizards, then you are better off not working there in the first place.

Getting rejected by lizards is a win.

This assumes the relatives are still alive. Also this question seems to only be asked in a country that has also not a functional health care system. Probably because you don't have any really employee protection laws either.
