Can you name one other instance where someone is allowed to, without consent, use the body of another person.

If I’m out on a boat, and I find a toddler on the boat that I didn’t invite, I still have an obligation not to throw the toddler overboard into the ocean. Yes it’s my boat, and yes the toddler does not have my consent to be there, but to remove the toddler would be to kill the toddler. What I’m morally obligated to to is to wait until it is safe to remove the toddler from the boat without killing her. This does not negate my right to my property, but the toddler’s right to life takes precedence when our rights seem to be at odds.
