The baby analogy seems a bit forced to me because babies do not drink blood (and babies in utero do not choose to be there). But if an adult came along and started biting me hard enough to break the skin, potentially infecting me with some disease, I’d consider myself justified in whacking them as hard as it takes to get them off. I guess to your point I’d try to hit them non-lethally though, unlike with a mosquito.
