I for one would gladly volunteer for even a one-way trip out of the solar system.

I could keep myself occupied and entertained the same way I do now, with some personal computing devices and game consoles, and I should be able to steer my craft and make direct observations while maintaining communications with Earth as long as the distance allows.

It would be a privilege rather than a sacrifice, and it will help humans back here in understanding the cosmos better than unmanned probes would.
