Odd... I thought Deckards status as a replicant was already confirmed by Mr Scott in an interview comprising the book "Future Noir". Also, that piece, like myself, agrees that the most telling piece of evidence is that Deckards eyes reflect ( In a fashion not dissimilar to the replicant Owl's ) when he is standing in the doorway behind Sean Young ( coming out of the bathroom ).
The other thing that surprised me a little is the mention of the Replicant Numbering puzzle, which I thought had likewise been conclusively solved via interview - the last replicant, who was supposed to be the gentle, mother figure for the others, was scheduled to die shortly after earth fall, with her "family" around her. However, this scene was apparently removed due to budgeting constraints, and while the dialogue for Deckards interview with the police was rerecorded, attempts to reloop it over the scene resulted in noticable lip-flapping.
Mind, all these things got bounced around and changed in the umpteen revisions that lead to the final Bladerunner scripts, ( I still think they should have kept the Turtle Ending ), so perhaps my interpretation is a little suspect.
