A theory isn't something to hold on to or defend when it's debunked. A theory needs supporting evidence or it's just a headcanon. Neither can truely exist when there's a fact that disproves them.

Rose had healing powers, she probably could have saved Steven if he was ill or injured. She wouldn't have to give up her gem to save him because it probably wouldn't work, Steven still has a human body and his physical body would be destroyed. Since a Gem's holographic body and a physical body can't exist in the same space, Steven would never be able to regenerate a new holographic body. Actually if he was sick and she had to save him, I don't think that she could cry and heal him before he was born, and If you mean after he was born, even that is invalid because "To bring him into the world" Means literal birth so maybe it was impossible for her to stay because she might have had to produce a gem for steven himself or reproduce with a gem in the first place (Which is unlikely because as stated my Rebacca, they do not reproduce and what rose did was very rare).
