Human machines

A human machine is a term that has been used in various contexts, such as in science where functions of the body are likened to a machine, or in sci-fi where a human-like machine may be called a human machine (as if they become human through a certain level of mimicry). Since the term can be defined in various ways, and there are outside of biology various ways to define what is a human, a human machine can be seen as partially human or entirely non-human. In Blade Runner, the human-like androids are retired as being malfunctioned replicants. (Eiríksson, 2021).
