I am not a vegan (although I have contemplated becoming a vegan, and briefly experimented with veganism), but I would definitely say that eggs are NOT vegan.
To me, disgusting as it may sound, an egg is a chicken fetus...and as such is more "animal" than animal products like milk!
As far as "killing" things for consumption. I know of some people who only eat harvestable fruit and vegetable products. This mean they only eat things that don't kill the plant (a grapefruit would fit in this category as the actual plant itself survives). So, these are people who wouldn't eat carrots or potatoes for example...
I guess you just have to choose how comfortable you are with the choices you make in your own life!
