See, the hypothetical I keep thinking about is a human fetus with a fatal genetic disorder that is saved by some crazy experimental gene therapy. Would doing a longterm study to see how this affects them as they grow up be a horrible violation of ethics? Giving them some psychological tests and MRIs before they're of the age to consent doesn't seem particularly questionable to me -- that's what their legal guardian is for, to make those calls.
