Genomic imprinting says no. It wouldn't produce a fetus that is in congruence with the possibility of life. It could at most start growing and developing, but it would die in the womb. More akin to a tumor than to a baby.

How comes it's possible for a bird or a fish, but not a human? If this article explains why, it is a bit obscure for non specialists.

No worries the whole concept of parthenogenesis is a really obscure and obtuse one.

Here's a SciShow link that does a really good job of describing it in a less obtuse and confusing way.
