Ead the excerpt below and answer the question.
some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed; and i have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken, to ease the nation of so grievous an incumbrance. but i am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known, that they are every day dying, and rotting, by cold and famine, and filth, and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected.
("a modest proposal"; paragraph 19)
in this quote, and in the entire essay, what is swift saying about the view and value of personhood in his society? is there any relevance today? who do we deem "less worthy"? why? your answer should be at least 250 words.
