Actually 10-15mA is lethal, but the voltage depends on the person. The average human body has ~10Mohms of resistance IIRC, which means it would take 100,000v to generate that kind of current. However, the body's own reaction to electricity lowers its resistance to the point where a lower voltage can kill.
