As time progresses towards the future, do you believe that the Nexus-6 Androids will be able to pass the Voight-Kampff test?
Rick Deckard heads to Seattle to administer the Voight-Kampff empathy test to a group of random people. Within this random selection of people, the Rosen Association places androids in the group to test the validity of the empathy test. Upon arrival, Rick figures out that the Rosen’s changed what their initial plan was and suddenly learns that he will be testing Rachel Rosen who is one of the representatives of the association. After completing the test on Rachel, Rick determines that she is an android. While coming to his conclusion, Eldon Rosen informs Rick that his niece is in-fact not android but, grew up on a ship that left her empathy skills underdeveloped and different towards animals. Rick was in disbelief which allows him to confront Rachel again and ask her to answer one more question to completely verify his conclusion. This question did the job, by confirming that she is an android and that the Rosen Association was lying about Rachel. As rick is leaving he realizes “they came awfully damn close to undermining the Voight-Kampff scale, the only method we have for detecting them” (Dick 60). Rick now understands that he can administer this test and he will have to begin hunting for the six Nexus-6 androids that injured his colleague.
