of course it is possible, invetro fertilization. nowadays you don't need a guy to be pregnated. stay a virgin and just go to the sperm bank and presto, no chance to catch any kind of sexually transmitted diseases.

You are forgetting the most important part of the story. The baby was bron without fertilisation, invitro procedure do require fertilisation though outside the human body.

I understand there's a species of female lizard that reproduces entirely by 'immaculate conception', without males.  What I don't get is why that's possible for a lizard, but not for  humans.  Anyone care to explain...?

I would say its the say reason some salamanders can grow whole limbs back but people can't.  However I wouldn't think it to be an impossibility if the person was a genetic mutation and the right hormones were activated.  It is a fact that some people can grow back teeth and others are capable of regenerating tonsils but not to the same extent as a salamander can regenerate a whole limb rather quickly.
