This is an awesome homework question. And while I'd love to do that particular assignment (Blade Runner being one of my all time favorite movies), I strongly recommend you watch this movie tonight and figure out the answers for yourself. This basic premise of the movie is that we might not want what we wish for. Emotions and what makes humans human, are all questioned here in a very poignant and entertaining way. Watch the movie and all will be clear. I assume you haven't watched it (or didn't pay attention enough) as you haven't provided your thoughts within your original question.

We'd love to hear your answers to these questions. We won't do your homework for you, but we're more then happy to offer constructive criticism on the work you have done.

So post your answers here and we'll let you know what we think. :)

Darn I wish this was not homework I know every question on this one, must have watched that movie 30 times at least.

But yes, watch it, and you will know it all
