What's wrong with with discrimination based on eye color? Shouldn't anyone with blue eyes be killed at birth? That's not on the list you mentioned, so it's fair game, right?

Discrimination based on eye color is completely fair! Blue eyed people have more trouble in bright sunlight, so you can use that as a tiny mark against them in relevant jobs.

I don't know how you confused discrimination with murder, but you should probably double check a dictionary.

chrisBob should have added "legally speaking". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_class
I think killing babies is a big jump from making heavier passengers pay more. The airlines already consider weight in their cost when you pay for baggage.
