In the animation Steven Universe, it is hinted that gems procreate by using facilities called kindergartens. The way a kindergarten works (Loosly explained) is that it forms new gems by sucking the life force out of the planet that they are implanted in. In a sense since this ends up eating up all of the planet's resources it ends up killing what one could call the womb that carries the gems. One could go as far as to say that a gems birth is bathed in death. Rose Quarts being such a kind hearted person could not stand to see anymore life taken due to this method. However she also was not willing to watch her race die. I believe that in an attempt to try to save her race and stop the barbaric method of procreation they depended on, tried to find other ways to continue her species. I believe that her first several attempts were with plants and then when that failed she attempted to make a more mamal based "offspring". I believe that when both methods failed she kept looking for a way unti she meet Greg. (Also, the animation heavily hints of a romance between Rose and Pearl if that is the case why would Rose Quarts bother with Greg a human who would die long before her?) I believe that Rose looked into human reproduction after meeting Greg and altered her holigrafic physical form to be able to function like that of a human female. In an episode it shows Rose on a recorded video pregnant with Steven explaining to the camera that she would not be able to have a physical form once he was born. Could it be that Steven is the answer to all gem reproduction? there appears to be no male gems in the animation. Considering that a gems physical form is more of a mental holigrafic idea of how they see them selves, could be safe to say that perhaps gems have no real genders. That would make Steven the only gem with a true set gender. Since there are no known male gems perhaps any children that Steven sired with another gem would not need the mother to sacrifice her physical form. But insted Stevens very existence would bring on a new era of procreation that would not have to revolve around death? When this theory is looked at the possibilities are endless. The idea that Steven could be the Adam of gems is really not to far reached. Also in another of Steven it shows that he stopped ageing a while back. This prompted Greg to pull Connie aside and inform her that since Steven was half gem there was not real way to guarantee that he would grow up in Connie's life time. Meaning that being with her in the future romantically may very well be imposible.
