Certain rights can be signed away. A right that cannot be given up, even willingly, is called an 'inalienable' right.

Thus in most of the world today, you cannot willingly sell yourself into slavery.

Exactly.

But many of these rights (eg, the right to carry arms, the right to enter into contracts, etc) are limited to adults.
