Society paid for her- by taking up medical resources she took those resources away from someone else. So don't say she wasn't societies child- we all impinge on society in some way- unless we live on a desert island and draw no resources from the collective.

I have to wonder why you felt the need to use that particular case to try to illustrate your point. It is strange to me. I DID say that if you kept your kid locked up in your house so it never ventured out to interact then it WOULD belong to you- and not to society- but in this odd case it sounds like the medical machinery of society was involved- so that is not the case. What you take from you owe, and what you owe you are part of - and "belong" to, in my meaning of belong, which is not akin to ownership. Your argument is not a good one for me.
