I guess I can't read!

So yeah, this still exists. Ursula's right, TECHNICALLY they can order you to kill yourself but you can totally ask for authorization from a higher position on the chain of command, or if they're just Pubbie McAssistant, you could probably even say they just flat-out don't have the authorization to do that - go with the assumption that if they can't activate your kill-switch with their own ID, they don't have that clearance. That said, yeah, if the captain's trying to killswitch you, you pretty much have to let him... but that doesn't mean you can't tell everyone he's doing it.
Also, the need to follow human orders is secondary to not causing harm to humans. If you want, you can also rejig that to mean that if you die, that leaves open the possibility that harm will come to humans that you could have prevented through your uncanny ability to call the shuttle regardless of the state of the station at large. But that's just one perspective on the matter, it's really very very context-dependent.
That said, the type of person who would abuse this is probably the type of shitty person who would have deserved to be killswitched in the first place, so it might actually just be best to fix this.
