See for example euthanasia. You are not free to get killed, no matter if you give your consent.
Or simply think about drugs. You are not free to buy whatever drug you want.
You want to sell your organs? Most countries forbid that.
You want to cut your hand? You'll have to do it by yourself, no medic will be ever authorized to do so (unless it is necessary to save your life).
So, you want to become a squid? It's the same as above. Whether you give consent or not the ones who do that to you will be considered criminals.

Laws can change, just saying.
In case of your examples, I find it pretty stupid in the case of euthanasia. If someone wants to die, wouldn't it be way better to go to a hospital and be done with than jumping from a bridge or something like that and maybe impairing(is this the right word for it?) on others?
The organ-part I view similar to the euthanasia one.
The drug thingy would also be better in a "controlled" environment rather than from some dealer at the corner
