Maybe the religious right would hold out for some fundamentalist interpretation and "soul test". But I would certainly support full rights for Replicants.

Replicants in Blade Runner were clones of humans, is that correct?

I never watched Blade Runner. But I would certainly support the idea that a cloned human being is equal to a not-cloned human being under the law.

Essentially, yes. They were augmented to have specific characterists, like better strength, sharper eyes and such. They were apparently vat-grown or something so that they didn't take a full 20 years to reach maturity. Their brains were somehow "imprinted" with memories simulating a childhood they never had actually lived.

It's a really good movie on lots of levels, consider renting it next time your at Blockbuster.
