Genophage is morally confusing. As Mordin said, the krogan don't deserve to be wiped out. They are culturally significant, coupled with the fact that some krogan are actually smart, and can offer advancements not only to their species, but to the galaxy as a whole. The krogan are a warring race, and with their history, its no wonder the galaxy used it. They had no clue weather or not the krogan would just go on fighting on to Tuchanka, or bring their fight to the rest of the galaxy.

Did the krogan deserve it, maybe or maybe not. The point is the Council jumped the gun, immediately using the Genophage without real evidence of any impending war with the krogan.
