‘Who’ is more human – Tyrell (human) or Rachel (replicant) – Why?

Even though Tyrell does not have feelings towards any of the Replicants he makes and only cares for the experiments he can do, I believe that Tyrell is more human than Rachel. Rachel has lived her whole live being ‘tricked’ into thinking that she is a human, and she thinks like a human, looks like a human, whereas her whole life is made up. I believe you can not call Rachel a real human because her whole body is made up by another person, not naturally, although made up of human boy parts. Her thoughts are not her own either, she has implants of another girls thoughts into her brain, meaning that the way she acts now and thinks is because of her childhood experiences and what she thought was the way she was brought up, when really this wasn’t her at all. This means that she can’t even think for herself, but is thinking somebody elses thoughts and feelings, and remembers somebody else’s memories. Tyrell has lived his whole life as a human, he thinks for himself, with a naturally made genetic make up and you can definitely call him a human, but not Rachel who has been made to think she is one, but is not.
