Actually as little as .07 amps can kill a person. The trick is to get that current to flow thru the person. A human is not a very good conductor of electricity, so it takes a fairly healthy voltage to produce a lethal current. Most of that resistance is at the skin, though, so if you make contact in saltwater (like they do in the electric chair) the required voltage is quite a bit lower. Electric chairs typically run around 2000 volts, and are most always lethal.
