Seems like splitting hairs, at best, for you to claim the three edited human babies who were born from this experiment aren't part of the experiment. He fully aimed to study them and they are still being scientifically monitored.

He also had a bizarre contract he made the parents sign that if they changed their minds they had to reimburse him the financial costs of the experiment.

Here's a scenario.

Parent gets modded baby
Parent is approached by a corporation to take over the baby for their exp instead
- Corporation is willing to pay parent for it
Parent later goes and says no to Dr. He
Parent takes baby to the corporation instead, which now gets to step ahead of Dr. He
Dr. He gets no resultant data but is stuck with the costs of doing whatever he did.
