Well ascertaining the "problems" is easy and everyone seems to think they have it all figured out... "doing something" is highly problematic and won't necessarily work out like you may think. People see different more pressing issues and can come up with different responses.

I never claimed high IQ people on average develop "schizophrenia" or whatever else more let alone are hospitalized. You can always find problems in the methodology of any sort of statistical studies. You can look for more phenomenological accounts. I noticed a lot of "child prodigies" seem to die young which is interesting. Also most contributions to science aren't from the extremely intelligence. All I'm trying to say is eugenically targeting for intelligence can be problematic and have unforeseen consequences.
At the other end of the spectrum obviously mental retardation is bad. I don't even like ugly people. I don't see much value in them and I would just euthanize them all but most people are highly "ethical" and would find that naughty.
