Actually, vegetarians, by the definition not only don't eat gelatin or wear animal products, they don't use anything that KILLS the animal.  They will drink milk and eat unfertilized eggs because animals are not killed in this process.  

Vegans will not consume the above plus milk and unfertilized eggs.  They are completely animal product-free.
