Replicant
1. Finally Ridley Scott has revealed what for 18 years all the fan of B.R. have always suspected but of which certainties didn't exist. In the Director's cut version Deckard IS a Replicant! His dreams, in fact, (like the unicorn's dream) are only memories that were installed in his artificial mind exactly like those of Rachel. It could be understood by the fact that Gaff creates a small unicorn of origami and lets him to find it on his floor, leaving him to understand the truth.

2. Even the director coming forward and stating Deckard is a replicant (which he has done on several occasions) has done little to stop the ongoing debate. As he plays with our memories and questions what is real during the movie, some see the wicked gleam in his eyes when he makes the statement as indicating that he knows it will make no difference to the debate. In a 1982 interview, Scott says things like, "the central character could in fact be what he is chasing", "The innuendo is still there" and "I think it's interesting that he could be." All these suggest that the original intent was to get the audience to ask the question, but not necessarily to confirm it either way.

Human
1. Too be honest I didnt find much on Deckard being a human. The sites listed above explored both but more on the side of him being a replicant. I didnt want to BS this and put that I found stuff that I didnt.
Result
After reading through multiple websites and articles my final decision is that Deckard is indeed a Replicant. It all makes perfect sense with the Unicorn and the dream and his compassion towards Rachel.
