ABSTRACT
This chapter talks about the story of replicant love. The Tyrell Corporation and its business are manufacturing Replicants, products designed to copy human beings in every way except their emotions. The designers reckoned that after a few years, they might develop their own emotional responses, such as hate, love, fear, anger and envy. The cushion quasi-memories provide for Replicant emotions allow them to be more effectively controlled. Economic reality and male domination are not the same thing as universal causal determinism, to be sure, but the threat they pose to freedom is one the possession of a soul is a poor safeguard against, or no better a safeguard than rebellious Replicant slaves possess. Though the freedom to which God appeals to defend himself against the charge of being responsible for the evil acts is incompatible with universal determinism, a conception of freedom exists that is compatible with it.
