The science baby seems to be just another option for those who don't want to go through the pregnancy thing. Quick, easy, and instant... just like ordering a cafe au lait at the corner Starbucks. :D
Which would be fine as an option... but then why go into this whole detailed explanation about how you can use science babies to tell all kinds of stories, but then you actually can't? It's not described as "something that's just to bypass pregnancy," it's described as an option for people to start their families in new and different ways.
Again, I don't think they intended it to be hurtful, I think maybe there was just a bit of muddling of intents here. Is this just solely intended to be a quickie pregnancy bypass? Fine. But is it intended to help people tell their own stories about different ways to come together to start a family, which is how they described it, and what I was initially excited about? In that case, those families shouldn't be lesser than other families.
All sims can have a science babies, even those that cannot get pregnant and, as they showed in the trailer, two same sex sims. It's not a pregnancy bypass, because some sims couples cannot naturally get pregnant, hence the since baby. Though Geoffrey Landgraab carried and gave birth to twins in my game, because of those "Should I have a baby?" phone calls, so really, I don't see why they didn't add the pregnancy unless they wanted to add it as a surrogacy option.
