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.
