It can all depend (if you are vegetarian or vegan) on your own views of the situation.
The reason many vegetarians or vegans won't eat eggs is because of the conditions the hens are living in. They live their whole lives in small, boring cages, and are often beaten. As you may know, most vegetarians/vegans are against animal cruelty, and this is included. Vegans include this as well as milk and others for similar reasons.
So, whatever your reasons are for going veg, if you are at all, do all of your research. Figure out what is going on behind the scenes. (Try the PETA website?:D )

ok basically, vegetarians dont eat animals. vegans dont eat animals nor their products [milk, cheese, yogurt, etc].
vegan-ism [not a word lol] doesnt really make much sense to me though. eggs are not living. they are always unfertilized, meaning even if you just left it there a chicken would not come out of it. and as far as milk goes, NOT milking cows is actually bad for them.. they are supposed to be milked.
i can understand being a vegetarian [but couldnt do it lol]. sorry, i could argue this for hours so i just had to through that in there =]

Eggs never were living. Not even 'sorta'.
You know how human fetuses use the placenta to gain nourishment? Eggs are pretty much chicken placentas. They're just nutritious goop. In the eggs that are sold, there never was a baby chicken. The eggs are not fertilized, so no fetus would have formed.
So strict vegetarians can gobble up as many eggs as they want.

There different degrees of vegetarianism, if you eat eggs you would be an ovo vegetarian, milk and eggs would ovo-lacto, fish would be pesco and so on.
Lots of vegetarians eat eggs as long as they are free range and have not been fertilised, so have had no chance of becoming chickens.
Vegans do not eat anything that comes from an animal.

vegetarians may eat eggs, dairy, etc. as long as it is not directly meat. vegans can not eat anything that came from an animal

If you're a Vegan, no. You cannot eat anything made from an animal. Eggs are made from chickens, so you would not be able to eat them.
However, if you're a vegetarian, then maybe.

yes you can.
