Reactions in the Media
“It’s a fantastic way of allowing women to beat back the clock and release some of that awful tension between our bodies and our minds. It’s a conflict that men don’t have—having to choose between slowing down to have a family or foregoing having kids naturally in order to consummate their career potential.”
-Melanie Girton, 35, lawyer
“…there’s a classist element to it--- it’s only available to women of a certain economic level.”
-Dixie Feldman, 43, no kids

Results• Respondents are ambitious and dedicated to their careers and personal
growth.• Have strong feelings regarding the optimal family structure and their
ideas of a family strictly adhere to the nuclear family concept.• Worked hard in every aspect of their lives to this point (career,
education, becoming established, etc.) and will continue with this level of dedication when it comes time for them to have a family.
• Respondents appear to be more interested in their careers than in having children but to them the concept of having
children is simply “on hold” but is still something
that is very important to them.

Values
• Women in study do not hold any moral objections to the procedure.
• Women within cities are generally more progressive and open-minded to new technology.
![Page 15: Eggs on Ice | Oocyte Cryopreservation Pamela Abraham Alex Andujar Dave Dosberg Bob Mullen Andrea Tepolt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56649f385503460f94c55186/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Attitudes Cryopreservation + Pricing• As with most new procedures there is some opposition• Expectations with respect to cost varied dramatically• Reaction to the $15,000 cost was mostly unsurprised• At such a relatively early stage in life there are still more
tangible financial concerns like paying students loans, saving up for a down payment for a house and investing.

Recommendations Proposed Target Market• Based on the science of fertility and the
psychographics of those we interviewed• She has already achieved an advanced degree,
bought an apartment and feels relatively fulfilled in her life by her friendships and career
• The thought of having a child is something she certainly sees in her future
• “Sex and the City”
