The Replicant

A Replicant is a fictional bioengineered android from the "Blade Runner" universe, designed to look and act like a human. They are created through advanced genetic and technological processes, often used for labor or other purposes. Despite their human-like appearance and behavior, Replicants are synthetic and may have limited lifespans. The key ethical issue is distinguishing them from real humans, especially when they exhibit emotions or consciousness. In essence, Replicants challenge our ideas of what it means to be truly human, raising questions about identity, morality, and artificial life.
