This is going to sound dumb, but with modern technology, why can’t we place a premature baby back in the womb and make some sort of drug to delay labor until the child is fully-baked?

The placenta is the “support system” for the fetus in the womb and that’s ejected and I believe damaged during the birthing process. So you’d have to completely repair the placenta (in terms of full healing) before you could stuff the baby back into it and then try to reconnect the placenta to the womb, which we cannot do. Nor do I think we’re even close. I would also imagine some massive hormone therapies necessary to get the woman’s body back into pregnancy-mode.
There are some medications that can delay labor if they’re used early enough in the birthing process.
