Empathy
Book/Movie/Game
Empathy (from the Greek εμπάθεια, "to make suffer") is commonly defined as one's
ability to recognize, perceive and directly experientially feel the emotion of another. As the states of mind, beliefs, and
desires of others are intertwined with their emotions, one with empathy for another may often be able to more effectively
define another's modes of thought and mood. Empathy is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes",
or experiencing the outlook or emotions of another being within oneself, a sort of emotional resonance. 1.

Empathy Test
General/Concept
The simple term for the Voigt-Kampff test. According to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the name Voigt-Kampff
refers to two experts in android science, who invented or enhanced the reaction scales for the test. The test was developed
to determine whether a person is a replicant or a human being. It is a serious of probing questions designed to invoke an
emotional/empathic response. This is essential part of the story in Blade Runner, as replicants lack, or only have a moderately
developed empathy level. This is why replicants are more inclined to acts of violence or sadism.
Empathy is a very
important if not the most important issue in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. In the book the lack of emotional response
in a replicant is called "Flattening of affect" (pronounced "AFF-ect") which means an objective absence of normal emotional
responses, without evidence of depression or psychomotor retardation.
The Nexus-6 replicants were so advanced that
they could now develope their own emotional responses and could sometimes 'fake' an empathic response. The newest VK test
could measure the reaction times looking for an unusually slow response that would indicate that the subject is consciously
'faking' it.
Speculation:
Rachael had implanted memories to soften the blow, so to speak, of her developing
emotional responses. It took over 100 questions for Deckard to determine she was a replicant. It's conceivable that a Nexus
6 or Nexus 7 could easily fake a VK test if they had the proper memories implanted.
Eye Works
Movie/Game
Movie: Hannibal
Chew's laboratory where he designs eyes for the Tyrell Corporation's Replicants. This is the setting where Roy and Leon interrogate
Chew about data concerning Replicant morphology, longevity and incept dates.
FYI
There was supposed to be a scene with Chew, according to James Hong, where Deckard arrives with a couple of other
cops to the crime scene in the eye lab. By that time Chew has turned into a statue of ice. When one of the cops happens to
knock him over Chew shatters into a million pieces. The scene was never filmed.
FYI
Ever wonder what Chew is talking about to himself prior to Roy and Leon entering his lab?
