Not "exactly parallel"--which is why I started my post with the phrase "extreme analogy," which is the same words you used earlier. Analogies can be useful as illustrations, but sooner or later they always break down, logically, because they are only analogies. And the analogy of the misguided parental murderers IS extreme.
