The federal sociological survey conducted in March 2017 about the attitude of Russians to surrogacy showed that 73% of respondents do not see sense in the legislative ban of surrogacy in order that married couple who wants to address to this procedure cannot give a birth to a baby because of their health reasons. Opinions were shared, and 27% of the respondents who got to selection categorically consider that surrogacy is morally unacceptably both on commercial and on a voluntary basis.
Participants of poll expressed also the opinion on cases when after surrogacy a biological mother wishes to keep the baby. So, 51% of respondents specified that she has the right for it, and this right cannot challenge even court. However 18% are sure that both with moral, and from legal side the baby has to be transferred to married couple who acted as the initiator of the surrogacy procedure. But and 31% of respondents refrained from the answer to this question and from further comments.
