Oregon pioneered death with dignity so this is a huge surprise.

Does the pacemaker law predate the death with dignity law?

I'm wondering if it only anticipated pacemakers being disabled for malice or out of negligence.

All the US death with dignity laws are lethal prescriptions only, the patient must self-administer. Turning off a pacemaker would be the doctor doing it, not the patient.
