This is one of those issues that no matter what your side you take, you’re always uncomfortable. It was wrong in the first place to enable the Krogan with technology they weren’t ready for, but that was the only way to defeat the Rachni.

The Krogan destroyed their home world, not because of the Genophage, but because they are a warring race with weapons not suitable for their developmental stage. The Genophege just compounded the problem.

Then there is the dilemma: do we do nothing while the Krogan overrun the galaxy? Or, we just wipe them out? Survival in one side versus the morality of extinguishing a whole race on the other. Enter the Genophage, a “solution” that ensures the survival of all species in the galaxy while condemning the Krogan to the misery of just trying to survive. So, it was wrong to impose the Genophage upon the Krogan, but that was the only way the rest of the species in the galaxy could survive.

So, with reservations, I’m taking Fantom Pie side in this one. Sorry Arbington!
