I am on a vegetarian/vegan forum and there is a debate going on about gelatin. Is it vegetarian? The majority say no, but there are a select few people on the site who are trying to make the argument that they are still vegetarian even though they eat gelatin. Now, gelatin comes from the bone marrow of an animal, therefore it comes from the tissues of animals. Doesn't sound very vegetarian, does it. But I want your opinion. Is gelatin vegetarian?

If yes, state your reasoning.
