Sammanfattning
Library and information studies research has shown how infrastructures and
data are, contrary to common perceptions, not neutral but take part in shaping
what they represent and the contexts in which they are used. Starting
off from these insights we discuss Swedish media reports from November
2015 about a possible alteration of the abortion limit due to recent findings in
neonatal care and research. Register data from the Swedish Neonatal quality
register figured in the background to the media reports. In this article we
discuss how specific data and infrastructures can be understood as relational
and hold different roles and meanings in different circumstances. The circumstances
in this case are both neonatal care and abortion. The significances of
the data consequently concern life as well as death.
