We can only imagine that it can 'feel' like, what it can be imagined like, to see yourself as something real, when really you are not. A replicant is created by man to essentially pick up after us. We improve them and make them better, placing the underlining code of created memories to perhaps keep them docile. But again, their intelligence over steps that mark; they know their memories are fake. So we step it up a notch, give them more life, longer life spans, and a purpose like a job. But we should know, like many humans, that a job does not define us. And like the replicants asking their creator for more life in 1982's Blade Runner, to Agent K in 2049 refusing orders to do his purpose, his job; we are left wondering...when will the breaking point be? When will the lines blur, the cells interlink between us and replicants? Within the universe of Blade Runner, it seems that line is getting smaller and smaller.
