Guid Oei, an obstetrician at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, and his colleagues have been developing their own artificial-womb system alongside simulation dolls that allow clinicians to practice transferring a fetus.

Guid Oei, a professor at the Dutch university and gynaecologist at the nearby Maxima medical centre, said current approaches are problematic as premature babies do not yet have fully developed lungs or intestines – meaning that attempts to deliver oxygen or nutrients directly to such organs can result in damage.

The OED points to a 1936 article in Scots Magazine: “Ony sensible body wad be only too pleased if I washed their windows for naething, but jist because ye think yersel’ fantoosh, I’m no’ guid enough.”
