(At around fifty-eight minutes) The girl is said to have died of "galatian syndrome", which is described as a genetic disorder. It is a fictional condition in which the sufferer has no immune system and can only survive in a totally sterile environment. Another possible interpretation for "galatian syndrome": In Galatians Chapter 4, Paul recalls the story of Abraham, who bore two sons - Isaac, by his wife Sarah, and Ishmael, by his slave woman, Hagar. Paul quotes Genesis 21:10, "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son." Paul then implies that the Galatians are in danger of becoming slaves, as Hagar's descendants became. However, according to Judaism and Christianity, Ishmael was the father of the Arab race and the Muslim religion, just as his half-brother Isaac was the founder of the Hebrew race or Jewish religion. In both "Blade Runner" movies, the replicants are referred to as being "slaves", and are the outcasts of human society. Therefore "Galatian Syndrome" would imply that Rachael's twins, having been born of a replicant mother, would be the outcasts of the human world, but possibly the founders of a new evolutionary race of replicants. (NOTE: In Blade Runner (1982), replicant creator J.F. Sebastian says he suffers from "Methuselah Syndrome", a condition which makes him look older than he is. This is a reference to Methuselah, the oldest man in the Bible who, according to Genesis 5:27, lived to be nine-hundred-sixty-nine-years-old.)
