    The answer would be Perform the surgery without the informed consent.

    The patient requires an emergency surgery to stop an internal hemorrhage. This condition is dangerous as it threatens the patient life, so fast decision is needed. The consent comes from autonomy bioethics is weaker in this condition because there are injuries that definitely come.
