replicant
A replicant is a fictional bioengineered or biorobotic android in the film ''Blade Runner'' (1982). The Nexus series of replicants are virtually identical to an adult human, but have superior strength, agility, and variable intelligence depending on the model. Because of their similarity to humans, a replicant can only be detected by means of the fictional Voight-Kampff test, in which emotional responses are provoked; replicants' responses differ from humans' responses. A derogatory term for a replicant is "skin-job."
==Origin==
Philip K. Dick's novel ''Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'', the inspiration for ''Blade Runner'', used the term android (or "andy"), but director Ridley Scott wanted a new term that did not have preconceptions. As David Peoples was rewriting the screenplay he consulted his daughter, who was involved in microbiology and biochemistry. She suggested the term "replicating", the biological process of a cell making a copy of itself. From that, one of them (each would later recall it was the other) came up with ''replicant'' and it was inserted into Hampton Fancher's screenplay.〔Interview with David Proples in ''Sacrificial Sheep: The Novel vs. the Film''.
