Would the gravitational force of a paper plate the size of our solar system crush someone standing at the middle of the plate?

F = G*m1*m2/r^2, right? So, if you took the Earth’s mass and stretched it into an enormous paper plate, and stood in the middle (right above the center of mass/gravity), would you be crushed? If you stood on the outer rim, would you feel little to no gravitational force?
