Hopefully not!

Well... in certain circumstances part of your body can be an electrical component in a circuit. For instance, when you touch a touch-sensitive screen, your body is actually changing the capacitance of an electrical circuit in that screen and a very tiny electrical charge - maybe only a few millionths of an amp - will flow through your finger for a very short period of time. Another example is if you are unlucky enough to receive an electric shock from the household electrical power supply: your body will carry a much larger current - maybe several thousandths of an amp - but, if the circuit has been properly hooked up, that current will flow for only a very short period of time - a few thousands of a second - until a circuit breaker trips to break the supply of current.
