In order for Wennberg's hypothetical case to be like pregnancy, we must assume that the mother knew ahead of time that the serum would make her son dependent upon her.

Suppose I fund a nine month Arctic expedition and agree to send weekly shipments of food to the explorers. After two months I change my mind. Am I within my rights to stop? I would be breaking a contract with the explorers. Is that crucial? Suppose I fund a nine month treatment program for people with a deadly disease that makes them unconscious. I must supply funds every week, but after two months I want to stop. If there is no contract with the sick people, am I within my rights?
