Chairman of the Synodal Department of the Moscow Patriarchate on relations of the Church with society and mass-media Vladimir Legoyda said that the spread of the practice of surrogacy will lead to an increase in the number of crimes, reports RIA "news".

"the wider will be developed in Russia, the practice of surrogate motherhood, the more often we meet with such cases, to convince us of the moral inadmissibility" – said Legoyda.

He noted that the provision of services of surrogacy could lead to the fact that infants will sell same-sex couples. Legoyda called existing practice cynical.

Earlier in the Russian Orthodox Church has proposed legislation to prohibit surrogate motherhood in Russia.
