Yes, forced lactation is possible, but not for everyone. Lactation is not an especially pleasant thing to tote around with you constantly, in spite of enormous jugs (for those get them). Lactating breasts require expressing periodically, they will "let down" in spite of whether you want them to or not. Eventually, this can be worked down to a morning and evening schedule, but it must be done to maintain the supply. Wet spots on pretty blouses while at work aren't exactly fashionable, especially if everyone knows you're not a breastfeeding mother. Nursing pads don't always work. That said, there are people who enjoy this activity, in spite of its inherent problems and inconveniences. Personally, I was finished with it when I weaned my second child.
