The Washington Post reported that Sanjay Gupta - CNN chief health correspondent, assistant professor of neurosurgery at Emory University School of Medicine, and author of Chasing Life: New Discoveries in the Search for Immortality to Help You Age Less Today - has been approached to be the new Surgeon General.

The notable thing about this pick is that he is has spoken out about life extension research and the ultimate goal of biological immortality.

Could this mean we will see a shift of focus away from disease-specific cures and toward prevention and anti-aging research? Such a focus would be among the best long term investments we could possibly make. As that old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
