They are wholly artificial constructs, and while it is implied that human DNA was used in their creation, that is not the entirety of their makeup. They were created without emotional responses (which was the point of the Voight-Kampff test) and their thought processes are programmed.Personally I think that the replicants/androids are a much better parallel to the Warforged than most of the other examples. They are a vehicle for exploring what it really means to be (and not to be) "human". Heck both were created for almost the exact same purpose.Can't you just imagine a philosophical warforged uttering..."I've seen things... you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost... in time, like tears in rain... Time to die."</blockquote>
