I think science and technology will eventually lead us to a place where pregnancy is redundant. I think we're very likely to have external wombs at some point in the future - that'll make shit really legally complicated and this is the sort of thing that dystopian playwrights have to consider.

Oooooh, I love this example. I think he would be morally obligated to give her the blood but I don't believe he can be forced - and that, in a nutshell, is checkmate. Well played.
