Discussions are not equal to arguments. Arguments is when one person (or all parties) insist that their views are correct and often leads to a quarell or an angry dispute. A discussion is when two (or more) parties converse in such a way that they say what they believe in and the others listen, which hardly ever has a negative emotional component.

We're having a discussion, not an argument. No one here is arguing, we're discussing. Learn the difference.

Can it happen? Yes but the same thing that happened with Rose would probably happen again. It would depend on the gender of the half gem. A female half gem wouldn't be able to get preggers from a 'male' gem because Gems lack biological DNA. And a male/female half gem and a 'male'/'female' gem wouldn't be able to procreate with each other either. Adoption would be possible though. GUYS, GUYS, GUYS!!!!!! I just relized something huge! So, if Rose was able to shapeshift a womb for steven to be born in, and lets be honest that it implies that she shapeshifted a pair of lady parts, and so if she is able to shapeshift all of that, then couldnt she create DNA. Like she could take all the physical portions of her and translate it into genomes and create her own DNA. If all gem shapeshift and the proccess I just described is all shapeshifted, then all gems could do it. Also lets be honest that at the kindergartens at least, that life given junk is somehow injected into regular gemstones, then they could choose any gemstone they wanted, mix thier shapeshifted DNA and gem life giving junk and inject it all into that gem. SO THEY COULD HYPOTHETICALLLY HAVE KIDS! Theoritically yes IF AND ONLY IF she could form oganic parts and incorporate it into her being. But if she can't, then making DNA is out of the question.

DNA is one thing, but it should be known that a father practically only contributes his DNA. Other parts of the cell; the nucleus, ribosomes, golgi bodies, and other parts of the cell needed to maintain life is contributed by the mother. And Rose literally has none of that. The only thing that could support another's life is the one thing that's supporting her's, her gem.

I just realized Steven could very well be haploid, but I'm sure Rebecca has some explanation why his diploid, magic and what not. But if gems can shapeshift all these different things, and create new forms when they regerenate, then they could either shapeshift these things are take like a a few months or years and comeback with literaly all human qualities, everything from toe nails to nerve cluster. Also there are books and records about how genes work and what genes make what and how it translates into DNA, so gems could compile all thier physical atributes and translate them into the proper genese and then translate them into the proper DNA sequence and shapeshift it. Genes are organic. The sugar-phosphate backbone and the all the four (five, if you count uracil) base pairs are all organic.

The Gems could probably make their own DNA, if they start building it atom by atom. Highly improbable but doable, but that would make them organic, per se.
