Lie Detector Company Threatens Critical Scientists With Suit

An anonymous reader writes "The Swedish newspaper DN reports that the Israeli company Nemesysco has sent letters to researchers at the University of Stockholm, threatening legal action if they do not stop publishing findings (Google translation). An article called 'Charlatanry in forensic speech science: A problem to be taken seriously' was pulled by the publisher after threats of a libel lawsuit." Online translations can be a little wonky; if your Swedish is as bad as mine, this English-language article describes the situation well.

IIRC, embryonic stem cells have a tendency to be cancerous (and adult stem cells less so)

I also find it funny, and sad, that a Swedish entity caved so easily to a legal threat from outside the country...
Hey, after seeing what the Israelis did to the residents of Gaza, would YOU want a bunch of Israelis pissed off at YOU?!?
