Rachael's lifespan remains a matter of debate. Rick Deckard initially states that he did not look at it, but at the end of the Theatrical Version, he mentions that Rachael was special, and Dr. Elden Tyrell made her without a termination date. This scene was deleted from most other versions of this movie, including Sir Ridley Scott's Final Cut of this movie, leaving the matter open. As stated in Bryant's explanation, a Replicant's age limit is something that is added to their creation process, and not stated to be a baseline hallmark of all Replicants. The movie even implies that the four-year lifespan is a relatively new safety attribute, possibly unique to the latest Nexus 6 models (as the veteran Deckard seems to be completely unaware of this new feature). As Rachael is described as a replica of Tyrell's niece, it is likely that Tyrell would have wanted her to live longer than four years. Blade Runner 2049 (2017) sheds some more light on the issue, by revealing that in the wake of Tyrell's death, his company went on to produce Nexus 8 models with open-ended lifespans, some of whom have clearly lived for several decades. It also reveals that Rachael was a Nexus 7 model, with implanted memories and possibly an open-ended lifespan, although neither movie gives any closure on the latter subject.
