Life is the characteristic state of organisms. Properties common to terrestrial organisms (plants, animals, fungi, protists and bacteria) are that they are cellular, carbon-and-water-based with complex organization, having a metabolism, a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and—through natural selection—adapt.
Under these conditions I would say no, an egg is not alive, but has the capacity to create life....

I am not a scientist but I don't think they are considered to be alive. They DO have the potential to grow under favorable conditions and hatch out into an animal that is alive (according to me).
