Cool To beg the question

People,

I'd like to know how to express "it begs the question" in Spanish. For example:

"I know that the product was assembled in the USA, but that just begs the question of what the country of origin is."

"I know that she did it, but to say that she did it just begs the question as to why."

In Chile we use "llorar"

Le llora la pregunta or le llora preguntar ( for someone to ask)

Hola:

suscitar la pregunta

Sé que lo hizo ella pero eso suscita la pregunta de por qué lo hizo.

Es claro que fue armado en EE. UU. pero eso suscita la pregunta: ¿Dónde se fabricó?
