I never said pacemaker! Some people are arrythmic and a shock could
stop
the heart.


snip

A surprisingly large number of people die from licking the electrodes
of
batteries every year, basically a shock of the order of milli amps
and/or
milli volts is actually enough to kill, the timing just needs to be

precise,

and the person somewhat unlucky.


And, more importantly, the current path has to pass through the heart
if it
is to affect the beating of the heart muscle.


This is the second time you have indicated that your knowledge of
electricity is negligible.

And I suffered from undue snipping. The sentence to which I was objecting
is

"The current will pass around the entire body!"
