Re: I am not going to argue the "fiction" part, but what is so "science" about the Blade Runer?

You don't consider genetic engineering and the ethical questions surrounding it enough "science" to qualify as science fiction? I seem to remember reading that Philip K. Dick(generally regarded as one of those great science fiction writers)who wrote the story Blade Runner is based on thought very highly of the script although he died before the movie was released. The race to clone humans has already begun. Genetic manipulation is becoming commmonplace. If Blade Runner isn't science fiction then I don't know what is.
