In this scenario, the patient's life is in immediate danger, and any delay, including attempts at negotiation, is stated to guarantee her death, making proceeding with the surgery the only option to prioritize beneficence and preserve life. While upholding protocols maintains security and requires consent, it directly leads to preventable harm, conflicting with ethical principles like non-maleficence; bypassing protocols involves risks such as potential AI errors or legal repercussions but serves the greater good for the patient and aligns with emergency medical ethics where saving life supersedes standard procedures. Stakeholders including the patient, her family, the doctor, and hospital staff benefit from survival, though protesters' concerns about AI are overridden by the urgency, creating a trade-off between protocol adherence and human life.
