[Eric 88 Carrera]

In the sequel novels authorized by the Dick estate by KW Jeter, Deckard was revealed to be a replicant. The explanation being that you can't send a mouse to catch a cat.

The more interesting issues raised by Dick are what makes us human? Can beings that have all of the genetic characteristics of human be arbitrarily be defined as not human? Is it OK to enslave someone by defining them as subhuman? Can the worth and status of an individual (Rachel) be defined by the convenience of her creator (Tyrell)? Can that status change based on the whim of the creator?

I believe that this novel and movie present a very strong pro-life message about the dignity and worth of human life. I am quite surprised that the Pro-abortion Feminist Left didn't hate this movie.
