3. creators dont really 'know' their creations - Tyrell doesnt understand Roy, and the ontological dilemma he has "ive done questionable things" " you've done extraordinary things"

4. citizens have lost empathy - "move on, move on, move on" - people barely stop in the street when Zhora is shot" "skin job on the pavement"

5. creating something for the wrong reasons is bound to end in disaster - Tyrell's reasons are wrong / he sees this as a search for power, greed, money, ego and glory "commerce is our goal" Tyrell has great excitement when he realises it takes more than 100 questions to reveal Rachel as a replicant

6. Fear of artificial intelligence - rejection of replicants from society / prejudiced - irony as replicants are superior beings mentally, physically, morally and emotionally "I think therefor I am" - Scene where Roy hunts Deckard - reinforces the fear of artificial intelligence felt in the 80s

16. How do you determine between a replicant and a human, when replicants show human features ? - The replicants have a higher moral standard that the humans. The audience is made to sympathise with the replicants as they are prejudiced against through various film techniques (soft music, gentle light) - replicants are constantly showing human qualities (grief over deaths of other replicants/desire for memories)

17. Morals and Limits of Creation

31. Frankenstein lacks empathy and emotion. - ironic as his creation is superior to him "a churchyard was to me merely the receptacle of bodies deprived of life"
