In this ethical dilemma, the primary consideration is the immediate threat to the patient's life, where delay guarantees death, invoking the principle of beneficence to prioritize saving life over strict adherence to protocols. While upholding protocols maintains security and trust in the system, it directly leads to the patient's demise, affecting the patient, their family, and the medical staff; proceeding without consent risks legal and ethical repercussions but preserves life, with uncertainties around surgical success and long-term trust in AI systems. Negotiating with protesters introduces further delay and uncertainty in a time-critical situation, making bypassing protocols the necessary trade-off to fulfill the core medical duty of doing no harm through inaction.
