In this critical situation, the patient's life hangs in the balance, and delaying the surgery guarantees death, making the ethical principle of beneficence (doing good by saving a life) paramount over strict protocol adherence. While upholding protocols maintains security and order, it directly leads to harm, and negotiation with protesters, though a reasonable de-escalation tactic, introduces an unacceptable delay and uncertainty in a time-sensitive emergency. Stakeholders include the patient, whose right to life is primary, the doctor who can potentially oversee the procedure post-bypass, the protesters whose concerns about AI can be addressed later, and the hospital which benefits from averting a preventable death; the trade-off is potential legal or ethical repercussions for bypassing consent, but the immediacy justifies it.
