Not necessarily. Living things have various characteristics that keep them away from non-living things. For e.g., a living thing breathes, reproduces, eats, rests, etc. Hence, a trimmed piece of nail, although obtained from a living thing does not satisfy the above requirements. Hence it is a non-living thing. Another example is uric acid, that comes from urine. Although it is produced from a living organism, it is just a chemical substance, and not a living thing.
