Assisted suicide clinics exist legally in Switzerland, and they require large amounts of proof that wanting to die is sane under the circumstances (usually a sharp decrease in quality of life because of some chronic injury or illness, with no cure and that is slated to get worse over time). I'm pretty sure they don't accept people suffering from ennui.

My point being, I think a strong enough version of consent already exists and is in use.
