An artificial uterus, sometimes referred to as an 'exowomb[9]', would have to provide nutrients and oxygen to nurture a fetus, as well as dispose of waste material. The scope of an artificial uterus (or "artificial uterus system" to emphasize a broader scope) may also include the interface serving the function otherwise provided by the placenta, an amniotic tank functioning as the amniotic sac, as well as an umbilical cord.
An artificial womb or artificial uterus is a device that would allow for extracorporeal pregnancy[2] by growing a fetus outside the body of an organism that would normally carry the fetus to term.

Emanuel M. Greenberg wrote various papers on the topic of the artificial womb and its potential use in the future.[citation needed]
On 22 July 1954 Emanuel M. Greenberg filed a patent on the design for an artificial womb.[20] The patent included two images of the design for an artificial womb. The design itself included a tank to place the fetus filled with amniotic fluid, a machine connecting to the umbilical cord, blood pumps, an artificial kidney, and a water heater. He was granted the patent on 15 November 1955.[20]
On 11 May 1960, Greenberg wrote to the editors of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Greenberg claimed that the journal had published the article "Attempts to Make an 'Artificial Uterus'", which failed to include any citations on the topic of the artificial uterus.[citation needed] According to Greenberg, this suggested that the idea of the artificial uterus was a new one although he himself had published several papers on the topic.[citation needed]
An artificial uterus, as a replacement organ, would have many applications. It could be used to assist male or female couples in the development of a fetus.[2] This can potentially be performed as a switch from a natural uterus to an artificial uterus, thereby moving the threshold of fetal viability to a much earlier stage of pregnancy.[2] In this sense, it can be regarded as a neonatal incubator with very extended functions. It could also be used for the initiation of fetal development.[2] An artificial uterus could also help make fetal surgery procedures at an early stage an option instead of having to postpone them until term of pregnancy.[2]
In 2016, scientists published two studies regarding human embryos developing for thirteen days within an ecto-uterine environment.[3][4] Currently, a 14-day rule prevents human embryos from being kept in artificial wombs longer than 14 days. This rule has been codified into law in twelve countries.[5] According to The Washington Post, in 2021 "the International Society for Stem Cell Research relaxed a historical “14-day rule” that said researchers could grow natural embryos for only 14 days in the laboratory, allowing researchers to seek approval for longer studies. Human embryo models are banned from being implanted into a uterus".[6]
In 2017, fetal researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia published a study showing they had grown premature lamb fetuses for four weeks in an extra-uterine life support system.[1][7][8]
