@owaffs In the movie based on the novel. The replicants are not robots in the sense of mechanical machines but genetically engineered humans that are manufactured meaning born in a chamber in a lab. They are called machines in the same sense as the black slaves of 1700s being called "Chattel" They are both considered property and not sentient life. They are artificial in the sense they are built from tailor made DNA. They simply had no time to develop social skills like humans do.

@owaffs

That was the point of the VK test. It made the defining difference between humans and robots being that robots can't empathise. One of the lines Deckard says to Rachel, shortly before doing the VK test on her, is "Replicants are like any other machine; they're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem".

Do you really think anyone would refer to a clone or a genetically-altered human as a machine if they didn't have artificial, mechanical parts?

@DHTSciFiArtist

The story comes from a book called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" Androids are robots with human appearance. If they were just engineered humans (like in Brave New World or Gattaca) then they wouldn't be androids (especially not in terms recognised back in the 1980s). The book was about how we define humanity in a world where robots could develop emotions (traditionally seen as a human trait) which wouldn't be an issue if Replicants were engineered humans.

@owaffs No these are not androids like in robots that are made to look human. These are genetically engineered humans grown in labs, specially designed for menial, dangerous tasks.

It is estimated that 1% to 6% of the population is psychopathic. Please show your compassion for those who are weaker, stop being speciesist and become vegan.
