From the beginning of the movie Deckard is portrayed as an old school, bad ass, rugged, retired police man. He is reinstated because a new wave of replicants are back in town and it his his job to eliminate them, all five of them. He is the best of the best at what he does and what he does is identify and eliminate replicants, or clones that were made to help out the human race. He has virtually no issues with his job, which is killing replicants. If he were one you would think that he would feel a level of remorse when taking their lives, which he doesn't, but then there is the argument that if he was one he wouldn't know.
One reason I feel that Deckard is in fact a replicant is because in the original movie there was an alternate ending where it comes out that he is a replicant, no people left wondering. Even if I had not learned this I still felt that he may have been a replicant because of some of the internal meanings within the movie. The unicorn had much symbolism and showed up multiple times throughout the movie. There is a flash back where he is dreaming and sees a unicorn, his fellow policemen is always leaving oragamy figurines where he goes and his final one is a unicorn. The main time that it showed up though that had a big impact with a small scene was when the unicorn appears in Sebastian's house, he is a biological designer for the replicants and has a large role in their existence within society. The ending fight scene takes place in Sebastian's house and is where the final, most problematic replicant is killed, which we find out earlier was where part of him had come from.
