     Often   people   approach  dilemmas  such  as   those
associated  with  the disease  of  AIDS,   other  sexually
transmitted diseases, birth control, unwanted pregnancies,
abortion,  sexual addiction,   related addictions  and the
population   explosion---with   assumptions,    attitudes,
perceptions, convictions and procedures which fail to take
into  account  the essentially  reflexive  nature  of  the
dilemmas.  The dilemmas are taken to be technical problems
in  need  of  technical  solutions.  Many people  fail  to
recognize  that  technical solutions will  NOT  solve  the
presumed problems;  because the dilemmas are not technical
problems,  and are fundamentally  different than technical
problems in very important ways.

     The tragic dilemmas which are suggested above are not
technical  problems  and  we cannot wisely deal  with  the
tragic dilemmas, so long as we  assume that we  can wisely
deal  with  them without openly and honestly dealing  with
the  essentially  reflexive  aspects  of   the   reflexive
human  relationships   which   are  the contexts  for  the
dilemmas.   Technocrats  are not qualified to lead  us  in
wisely  dealing with  the tragic dilemmas;   and  in  fact
technocrats   often contribute  to  the  postponement   of
dealing   with   such tragedies  in ways which are  wisely
integrative of persons and communities.
