World's Leading Reproductive Tissue Bank Announces Free Services to Nation's
Military and Civil Service Leaders

LOS ANGELES, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- California Cryobank (CCB), the world's
leading full service reproductive tissue bank, announced the expansion of its
standard military semen storage discount program to include the nation's first
responders -- firemen, policemen, paramedics and emergency medical
technicians.  By offering these military and civil service leaders one year of
free personal semen storage as well as 50% off all standard service fees
(including an initial consultation, semen testing, freezing and ongoing
storage), CCB hopes to help protect the future families of those men who risk
so much protecting all our families every day.
    "We are honored to expand our military discount program to include these
dedicated public servants," says Cappy Rothman, MD, co-founder and medical
director of California Cryobank.  "In appreciation of everything they do for
all of us, CCB would like to make sure these men have every opportunity to
enjoy their own families whenever they are ready."
    With a physician's assistance, semen frozen and stored at CCB can be used
to bring to life dreams of parenthood.  Semen storage is often a valuable
service to soldiers called to duty abroad but who don't want to delay starting
a family at home, men seeking storage prior to medical treatments that may
result in infertility, and to many men who simply choose to store their semen
in case of future injury.
    "My wife and I feel that the semen storage program offered by California
Cryobank is a wonderful resource, and we greatly appreciate the discounted
military offer we received," says one lieutenant who recently used the
program. "The California Cryobank service gave me peace of mind during my
recent deployment, and we thank them for providing a great service at a
special discount to those of us who serve."
    CCB's discounted fees and free first-year semen storage apply exclusively
to members of the military and/or firemen, policemen, paramedics and emergency
medical technicians (active valid identification required) and are offered at
three of its offices:
    -- California Cryobank Los Angeles
       11915 La Grange Avenue
