Legal problems of surrogate motherhood in Russia

Abstract
This article is dedicated to the legal issues surrounding surrogacy in Russia. Despite the legality of surrogacy in Russia, this practice raises numerous ethical, moral, and legal questions. The relevance of this issue is the subject of active discussion among lawyers, where the interests of three parties – a child, genetic parents, and a surrogate mother – are simultaneously at stake.The admissibility of assisted reproductive technologies and their regulation is one of the most controversial issues in law. Thus, the position of legislators in different countries, including Russia, can be influenced by dominant religious beliefs and norms of morality and ethics in society.The article provides an analysis of the legal status of surrogacy in Russia and foreign countries. It is worth noting that the Russian legislation lacks a legal definition of a surrogacy agreement. This has led to a lack of consensus on the legal nature of this contract in doctrine and legal practice: whether it is civil or family law or has a mixed character. At the same time, a judicial Russian practice has already emerged that gives priority to the interests of a child.
