As far as surgery goes and for turning Aura on/off, I think a person's Aura can be bypassed. You don't have to beat someone until they reach 0%: just numb them with a pain relieving agent which will relax the muscles, slow the reaction speed. and lower the person's defenses to where performing surgery wouldn't be a problem. Problem: For all we know, Aura could decrease the effectiveness of anesthetics and similar, or even block their effects outright.

And so far there's nothing that says Aura can be downright bypassed. The closest example would be Adam when he attacked Yang, and let me remind you that he is like half a hundred levels above her, as confirmed by Word of God if it wasn't obvious enough. What he did was bring, in a single blow, her Aura down to 0%, and still be strong enough to still cause some damage.

So, for all we know, you really must beat someone until they reach 0% if you want to be able to do any surgery at all. Otherwise, you can't even cut the skin and thus nothing will get done. The alternative, if Aura really does not work when unconscious, means that you would have to KO them.

Plus, Aura is not some simple biological defense system, it's energy from the freaking Soul. So for all we know, the whole idea of "numb person with agent to lower defenses" would fail because 1) Aura blocks the effects, and/or 2) They can't actually "deactivate" Aura that way.

Hence why I believe they most likely can turn it off on their own account. Occam even agrees.
