There is an assisted dying group who are helping people that have been struggling with the idea of suicide. The group is called The Last Resort is currently only available in Switzerland and expects to launch their first portable suicide pods within a few months. This will be the first establishment that will provide death without any medical supervision. Now, many are wondering if this company could pop up in Florida soon.

Could Suicide Pods Come To Florida?

According to the NYPost, "The space-age looking Sarco capsule replaces the oxygen inside it with nitrogen, causing death by hypoxia. The person wishing to die must first pass a psychiatric assessment of their mental capacity -- a key legal requirement." The entire experience would only cost $20 making it affordable for almost anyone. The Last Resort's chief executive said,  “I cannot imagine a more beautiful way (to die), of breathing air without oxygen until falling into an eternal sleep.”

How Does It Work?

The individual who is interested climbs into the purple capsule and closes to lid making a shape into a pod. After it's completely sealed you are then asked automated questions. It will ask you to identify who you are and if you know where you are. The system will then finally ask you if you know what will happen if you press the button. An activated voice will lastly instruct you, if you want to die, press this button. Not anyone can enter the suicide pods, they have a minimum age limit that is set at 50. However they do bend that rule if someone over 18 was seriously ill. The company will not restrict anyone over 18 if they are in severe pain.

In the state of Florida, like many others, there is the death penalty for convicted inmates. If you received the death penalty as punishment the electric chair was the only option before 2000 but many thought it was inhumane causing too much pain. There was legislation passed in 2000 to add lethal injection as an option for inmates. Both of these options are very expensive and can cause long-term issues for the people applying the treatment. A suicide pod could the future not only for free individuals but those locked up that no longer want to live.

It may seem outlandish but you can go to jail for cheating on your spouse in many states. Some of them will actually fine you but others will sentence you to jail for cheating on your significant other. And the punishments for this act vary greatly depending on the location. It's not just one state but more like 16 different states in the country that will fine you or give you jail time including the state of Florida. Although, it does matter how much evidence you have when caught, watch out. You can go to jail for having consensual sex and stepping out of your marriage.

States You Can Go To Jail For Cheating:

Let's be honest, we all know one person in our lives that has stepped out of their marriage before. It's not a rare occurrence at all. There are some hefty jail sentences and jail time that can be issued in many states across America. In these states listed below, infidelity in marriage is still a crime. Most of these states define adultery as sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than their spouse.

According to WomensDay, many European countries once had similar laws, almost all were repealed in the 70's and 80's. In many of these U.S. states, cheating is considered a misdemeanor. However there are several like in Idaho, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, where it's classified as a felony. As an example, in Massachusetts getting caught sleeping with someone else can result in a fine of up to $500 and up to three years in prison. New York is the only other state in the Northeast where adultery is still illegal, carrying a penalty of up to three months in jail for infidelity. In most of these cases it's just easier to stay faithful and keep it in your pants. You won't get jail time or a fine if you don't cheat.
