Refusing a Gift

Is it possible to refuse a gift? I can't really think of a scenario where refusing drillers would make sense, but it might with specialists.
I'm currently sending a hypnotist to a base with three captured specialists. Two of which I want, but the third, a king, doesn't fit with my defensive strategy. There's no way that I know to only recruit the two I want without lowering all my shields because of the king. So, I was going to gift the king to another player. Which got me thinking is there a way he could stop this- other than gifting it on himself if he didn't want it?

As far as I know there is now way to refuse a gift. But, as you already said, he can just gift it back to you or another player.

Use the king in this fashion tactcally to weaken one of your enemies shields

There is no way to refuse a gift,
I once had a really tight window to take an enemy factory. I had sent my drillers when they were at driller capacity and now it was going to land and lose the battle because the factory was going to produce.
So I sent a gift of drillers to an incoming sub of his so they would remain above capacity, not produce drillers, allowing me to narrowly take the outpost.

Good ol' wily Braxo. That is brilliant.
