The high regard that the humans of 2021 have for life is not reserved for only humans but also extends to all other life as well, Bounty Hunters use this fact in determining who is an android and who is human. The Voigt-Kampff Test measures an individual’s empathic ability through a series of predetermined questions. The questions all revolve around one’s ability to empathize with other creatures. It is common thought among Bounty Hunters that, “the emphatic faculty probably required an unimpaired group instinct” something that no android has the ability to feel because, “the humanoid robot constituted a solitary predator.” (Dick 30, 31).
