Based on your argument, blood donors are on the hook for supporting any children whose life they saved.

Kinkwood, that does not follow. Saving a person's life is not the same, not even analogous, to siring a child.

Tell me, where and when do the responsibilities of fatherhood actually arise? Or, by your accounting, is there even such a thing as paternal responsibility? It cannot arise from "choice to be a father," no more than motherhood's responsibilities arise from "choice to be a mother."

This is one of the main reasons why abortion is such a radical and repellent evil: because it kills the child, yes: but this killing is predicated on the premise that "I, who have conceived, did not choose to conceive this child, and I never intended to shelter it in my womb, give birth, or parent it." All irrelevant. The child once begotten/conceived has natural rights, and these begin when its life begins: the rights to the protection, nurturance, and support of its natural parents.

A man who says "Not my problem, I didn't choose it" is an aborter at heart --- whether the baby survives its gestation or not --- because he holds the same hell-proposed premise : "It has nothing to do with the objective fact that I am the begetter, it's all about my choice."

I have read that this was the Chinese culture’s attitude towards saving a life. The rescuer was responsible for the person saved.
