̈For more than two years without receiving foreign families to carry out surrogacy treatments, Russia finally has a position on the treatment for foreigners and different profiles of families.
The lower house of the Russian parliament (DUMA) approved on Thursday in second and third readings a bill prohibiting foreigners from carrying out surrogacy treatments. Single man no longer can do the treatment.
In addition, a child born by a surrogate mother in Russia would automatically receive Russian citizenship. Couples in which one of the spouses is a Russian citizen will still be able to use Russian surrogate mothers ̈ (REUTERS)
