I have no idea what "OMG LUCAS TILL IS SOOOOO HOT!!!" has to do with anything, but from what I understand, human parthenogenesis is theoretically possible, but the likelihood of it actually happening is so low that it is pretty much impossible, hence why it has never happened (despite what what some religions want you to believe).

It's impossible in high developed specie as the homo sapience is! It's possible in some insects - like bees, female bees are product of parthenogenesis, male bees are the result of normal sexual reproduction.

No, despite what that stupid fictional book tells you, it has not happened yet, and it very well may never happen. Besides, where can you find a virgin in this dia and age?

Not really I think. (at least not in humans)Theoretically - maybe. Parthenogenesis can occur in some lower animals. I think scientists aren't really sure about humans because the genomic imprinting would cause some problems. Anyways some very rare things would have to happen at the same time and the chance of those happening is ~ 0. And I don't think anything good would come out of it...

i'm sry but this interests me, does the baby turn out..."normal" under these circumstances without male DNA?

I don't think so, maybe in some cases...but most of the time if not always the embryo would simply die or the child would have defects in development, syndroms,...because of the imprinting. I can't explain this very well because I don't know much about how imprinting works, but I guess you can think like that: every cell in our body contains the same DNA, but in different types of cells different genes are activated. So if there are different genes activated in the egg cell than in the sperm cell and you don't have the sperm cell genes then for the imprinting...well..something is missing then and that causes problems.
