I think the 1 in 1000 births being lower then what is really nessicary was kind of the point. If the krogan kept going at this rate as pirates, bounty hunters etc, then they would remain in that state for centuries. And as much as the genophage may have made them resigned to their fate, krogan selfishness did not start with the genophage. the point of the genophage is that the krogan can survive if and only if they get over their teritorial and violent nature and begin working productivly to combat it. It is ultimately a way to force them to evolve into a civilization that is more sutible for galactic politics. And ironically the self-proclaimed "masters of survival" seem do be doing everything they can to aviod this particular advancement. If they keep their own state of mind up, they will die, but if ideals like Wrex's catch on, they will not only live but become a united government that can prosper in the galactic community, rather then a race consently resigned to insignificance and poverty.
