Maybe I'm missing something, but I see no reason to place such restrictions. A "ration coupon" for reproduction only comes into existence when someone dies or moves off-planet or moves away from this space-station or whatever. The deceased or departed or lucky lottery winner should have the right to pass on the "coupon" to whomever he/she chooses for whatever compensation is mutually agreed. Same goes for the heir.
Hmmm. Maybe you are right. It might not be a good idea to have a futures market on those things.
