Thank you for this observation--it was interesting and I learned a new word today: "quotidian."
I agree with sophiaserpentia on this one, though, and for precisely the reasons she gave, that your analogy falls well short of describing the euthanasia issue.
In addition to her comments on your analogy I would offer this one: I haven't heard the Holy Father publicly proclaim his philosophy on how a family should deal with kidnappers and ransom demands. That would be an interesting epistle, I think!
(If they are in fact analogous or as similar as you say, I would think, especially given their frequency in such a Catholic country such as Mexico, that he would offer up something in this regard. Perhaps I missed it--he said something and the media didn't jump on it?)
