Now, see, that's a problem, because IQs are not an accurate way to test a person's intelligence. They are often biased and only apply to one time of intelligence. Instead of an IQ test to get a driver's liscense, why not have a driving test (which already exists). Instead of your IQ determining if you can safely handle a gun or not, take a gun safety course and test (already exists... at least in my country). But would correctly answering "If all zorks are zarks, and some glarks are zorks, are all zorks glarks?" make you eligible for having a baby?

That's a rather dangerous line of thinking.

But what laws? Do we subject ALL criminals to this? Or just the very dangerous ones? Where do you draw the line?

I think you are forgetting the purpose of prisons. They are to keep the public safe from criminals, but also to reform them into productive members of society. Criminals are not organ donors. What happens when a person is sent to jail on false evidence?

EDIT: Lol, who neg-repped me for this post?
