Actions have consequences...
When someone does something knowing the consequence could be getting killed by the mob, and then accepts that inevitable consequence when it comes (does not put up a fight), does that become suicide just because they submit to their lack of real choice?
The Dollhouse is clearly an illegal organization which corners these people into this "consequence" as the result of some predicament they're in. As she also says in that opening scene, "I don't have a choice, do I?" Clearly not consent.
It's true that the personalities which inhabit Echo's body are consenting to their actions, but we as the audience know that Caroline is not. The presentation ought to acknowledge that rather than try to titillate the viewer.
