It would be reasonable to assume that eggs could have similar toxins in their shells to prevent them from being eaten. If so, trace amounts of such toxins could be in the egg whites, potentially causing health defects. Genetic engineering could pull these toxins out. | |

On the same wiki page you can also find that we don't know if Oviraptor actually ate eggs. That idea came from the nest and eggs found close to its skeleton, but those eggs might actually be from the Oviraptor itself. From that page: While this discovery did not rule out the possibility that Oviraptor included eggs in its diet, its exact feeding strategies remain unknown. I see you put a disclaimer but it kind of invalidates your reasoning in my opinion.
