Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / ethics/cloning
English term or phrase: uso de 'compelling' en este contexto
In addition, although the Commission acknowledged that there are cases for which the use of such cloning might be considered desirable by some people, overall these cases were insufficiently compelling to justify proceeding with the use of such techniques.

Mi versión:
Además, aunque la Comisión reconoció que existen casos por los cuales el uso de esta técnica pudiese ser considerada deseable por algunas personas, éstos por lo general no serían lo suficientemente convincentes para justificar el hecho de seguir adelante con el uso de estas técnicas.

...estos casos no tenian suficiente importancia general para justificar...


Explanation:
Lo que 'convenceria' en estos casos seria el hecho de tener importancia general, y por lo visto no la tienen. No es que por lo general no convencen, sino que no tienen la importancia general para convencer.
