The way that Replicants had a shelf life almost reminded him of how a lot
of the X series came down with Progeria at some point in their life.
Manticore could reverse the problem if it happened, but some of the ones
who escaped with Max hadn't been so lucky. He had been told he was 'fixed'
from that particular abnormality, but it wasn't a certain. Nothing ever was
when it came to your genes.
"It's not about making sense. It's about control and cutting your loses."
He saw a lot of parallels there. "The Replicants posed a threat and also
made them look stupid. Best way to show power is to eliminate and show your
dominance. Plus you can sweep any other issues under the rug that way."
