Organisms are not what "things" are getting developed into. They are the things doing the developing. And development continues throughout the lifespan to senescence and death—at no point does it make sense to say we've arrived. Studying how things developed into humans might be the jurisdiction of evolutionary biology, but studying the way human organisms develop is the jurisdiction of embryology, etc.
Edit: Doing some digging it seems molar pregnancies are missing maternal DNA, etc. If that's the case I don't understand the objection. These are examples of how reproduction goes astray. And there are thousands of genetic/developmental problems that can occur.
