In view of the rise and spread of many new diseases in our age of hagih economic and technical advancement, the problem of euthanasia or mercy killing has been increasingly raised in discussions of the quality of life and associated moral questions. A Confession therefore remains a highly relevant work of fiction. Focusing on the topic of euthanasia, this essay analyzes A Confession in order to show how Storm, through the doctor's eyes, reflects on themes such as guilt, expiation, morality, and humanity.
