It's true that you're not the owner of your body: it's an established legal principle that there is no property in the body, which means that noone owns it, and it's impossible to own it. That's generally taken to be a principle defensible on the grounds that it (usually) protects people.
As for the right to choose... well, it's one thing to choose to kill yourself, but quite another for another to be entitled to help. Like it or not, the situation is morally and legally a lot trickier than it's sometimes thought to be.
