Luna Wilson

Patricia Luna Wilson (c. 1961 – legal death October 2, 1976) was a 15-year-old murder victim whose brain was cryopreserved. She was the daughter of Robert Anton Wilson and Arlen Riley Wilson.

She was murdered while working at a clothing store in Berkeley, California by a thief who repeatedly hit her in the head with a credit card machine.

Cryopreservation
Luna's parents decided to cryopreserve her brain to say no to death. They intended this as a way to preserve her life and to make a statement against the person who took her life to steal a few dollars. They hope that she will be able to live again through cloning and preservation of her memories stored in her brain.

Luna's brain was recovered by the Bay Area Cryonics Society and frozen by Trans Time. She is the first brain-only cryonics patient in the world (without the skull being preserved) and the second neuropreservation patient in overall, after Fred Chamberlain Jr.

Her parents died without being cryopreserved (mother Arlen Riley in 1999 and father Robert Anton in 2007).
