If selective breeding based exclusively on IQ criteria would produce significant number of individuals with schizophrenia and other mental disorders then I would just update the breeding criteria to eliminate those unwanted traits from the gene pool as well. After all, evolution is all about trials and errors.

Evolution proved it to work :) We should concentrate instead on removing impediments to this, such as arranged marriages, rapes and accidental pregnancies... Contraception is helpful on the latter...
- jarek-foksa 12y agoNatural selection works fine, but relying exclusively on it might be dangerous for the human species in the longer run. Millions of species have died out because they were unable to adapt to the changing environment fast enough. In the near future (in evolutionary timeline) in order to survive we might be forced to colonise other planets or cooperate with machines that are orders of magnitude more intelligent than we are today. We either learn how to adapt rapidly or we will be out of the evolutionary game.
