In the Twilight Zone episode, "Father and Son Game", Ed Marinaro plays a "type A" businessman of the future. Convinced he can run his business better than his son, he tries to outpace him by living healthier. Just when he thinks he has beaten every health problem, a new one arises. Each time he is forced to sacrifice part of his humanity in order to overcome the health crisis and live longer. Eventually he outlives his son and has no more worries about losing his company. However, by this time he has lost much more and is basically nothing more than a computer program without a living body.
