As we see it eggs could be a part of a vegetarian diet. But not a vegan diet.
To substitute for every 1 cup of whipped cream:
mix 1/3 cup softened butter with 3/4 cup of milk
whip with an electric beater for best constitency
I'm sure there are other choices as well, but this was the first one I saw on google.

Rennet is not eaten by vegetarians (or vegans of course).
The traditional source of animal rennet is the stomach lining of calves, or sometimes other ruminants such as goats, while their diets are still limited to milk. The lining of the baby animal contains chysomin, a naturally occurring enzyme, which helps digestion and milk absorption.
In the case of Parmesan, and most other cheeses where a vegetarian version of rennet hasn’t been substituted, that rennet is procured from the one of the four stomachs of a calf. The calf is killed so that the enzyme can be extracted from the stomach lining of the slaughtered animal. This is why vegetarians don’t eat rennet - vegetarians don’t eat ANY parts of animals. (As well as not eating animals, vegans won’t eat products that come from them either e.g. milk, eggs etc.)
After processing it, the rennet is added to the cheese mixture to curdle it. This stomach’s enzyme is so intrinsic to the production of Parmesan that it cannot legally be called Parmesan unless it contains cows milk, salt and calf rennet. This is why vegetarians (and vegans) don’t eat Parmesan cheese.
