IRELAND, J.

In these four consolidated cases the court must determine whether the legislature has eliminated the requirement that parents of an adult child must be financially dependent on the adult child in order to recover for loss of consortium under RCW 4.24.010, the child injury/death statute. We hold that RCW 4.24.010 requires such financial dependence.
