I was finally returned ME2 after someone borrowed it from me. Then, as I was playing I got to Mordin's loyalty mission about 'rescuing' Maelon. It got me thinking about the Genophage, and about whether it was right or not. I can see why it could be a mistake because no one should play God with the fate of other secies that way, but I can also see how it's a good thing, especially with the Krogan who are naturally violent.
So, what do you think?
Was it the right or wrong thing to do?

It was the only option that seemed reasonable. Genophage seemed simpler and less messy, what other options could they take besides mass descrution of the krogan homeworld. Cutting off thier supply of warriors worked well enough in the end. Mordin checked all other solutions and saw the genophage as the best choice. Trust mordin he is more hyperactive than a gerbil on coffee and smarter than a super computer.

It was wrong. There was always other options. It just angered them even more and if it was true, they somehow adapted to the stg. One option was to get rid of some of the population. When they inflicted the Krogan's with the Genophage it just sent a message for death upon the turians and salarians.

Krogan before the genophage rapidly reproduced so the numbers would be easily replenish.

I get why they introduced the genophage, but I can't really support it after being with Wrex. So I told Mordin to hang onto the data and I got bad points for it (which confused me).

You probaly choose the reckless advice for keeping it, if you choose the cautios one then a paragon choice pops up for keeping it
I think wrex kinda sees why they made the genophage but he doesnt like it
Grunt and Mordin sees it as the best choice though

The genophage was wrong on every level. I might be biased cause I think the krogans are awesome and they are my favorite species, but It was still wrong. Krogans aren't scientists they could have easily built some kind of device to keep them planet side and just let them fight amongst themselves, or hell use them as soldiers in your armies, or body guards for exploration teams. Krogans aren't without reason. Their just peacefully impaired. So give them something else to fight and they'll leave you alone.

The genophage was a means of control, not extinction.
It was created in such a way that it would keep the Krogan
race in check and not grow to dangerous numbers.
Those bastards are tough though. The thing about Krogans is that
they evolve super fast to better acclimatize to their environment,
it's only a matter of time before they overcome the genophage
all together.

It was wrong but it almost had to be done. The Krogan would have just about taken over the world if they would have continued to grow in numbers like they were before.
The genophage was used to control their population not kill them. It was used so that they wouldn't get out of control (which I am pretty sure would have happened if the genophage didn't occur).
It was a harsh method and I don't agree with all the pain it created but I do understand why they had it done.

I think the Genophage was a good choice at the time, but if the Genophage was removed the Krogan maybe would have learned their lesson with one of the largest threats to the Krogan finally lifted. Then again that too is debatable, like that clan that you fight on the way in to rescue Mordin's old comrade or whatever. They sounded like they just wanted to expand and show their power above the rest of the Krogan. I wonder if whether Wrex is alive or not determines how the Krogan would go about the Genophage being lifted.
By the way Esper that is an awesome Dragon Age sig.
