Unfertilized eggs have the purpose of turning into fertilized eggs, which either are people or have the purpose of turning into people.

I think if fertilized eggs are people, so are unfertilized eggs. There's really not much difference between them.

The article doesn't say or imply this. Unfertilized eggs aren't persons, and the article only says every person has a purpose.

Fertilization doesn't count as "much difference" to you? Hmm.
