faire miroiter

Yes, I think so; to start with using quotes around 'autonomy' doesn't really express the right cynicism, since it isn't really the autonomy that is being called into question, but rather the way of using it to convince people.

Yes Tony... I did think that the "" around autonomy might convey the said cynicism. Perhaps better to be more explicit!

10:12 Feb 3, 2015 

Yes, but that does rather miss out the cynicism inherent in 'miroiter' — to ensare someone by luring them with an attractive proposition.

I personally prefer your idea of "extolling the benefits" of...

Thankyou all for you concern, and yes that was a non-edited rough draft. I should have paid attention to the rest of the sentence before posting, apologies, especially for disturbing writeaway with my commas.
Another version:

The valorisation of autonomy is also an important element in the discourse promoting self-medication on the part of the health authorities but also the public authorities. Although it is mainly for economic reasons that these latter believe self-medication should be further developed in France, they seek to promote the practice using the lure of patient 'autonomy'.

I also agree and find the punctuation very disturbing as well.

Totally agree with you. It must be a very rough draft for a native English speaker to even consider "esteem this domain".

I hope this is your rough translation! This needs a lot of work, but most importantly you should break it down into shorter sentences. You should not normally have more than two commas in a sentence. Also, I think you may have misunderstood the English "esteem" - it's not the same as the French "estimer".
