Wasn't he retired, or did I misremember that?  Certainly *someone* in the 
chain of command had to know he's a replicant.

Yeah. To my mind, it doesn't add anything to the movie to make him a 
replicant and it takes away all the moral questions and turns the movie into 
Gozilla vs Mothra.

I heard it to mean that *everyone* has a sell-by date, human or replicant, 
and all you can do is enjoy what life you have. I mean, "but then, who of us 
does" clearly refers to humans as well as replicants.
