This is something I never understood. Just the KILL krogan already, why create a new a modified genophage everytime the krogan population spikes? If it is the firm belief that NOTHING will change the brutal krogan culture, then go full out genocide.
The Genophage is not a punishment, it is merely meant to counterbalance the Krogans removal from their natural environment. The Krogan leaped centuries, possibly millenia, forward when the Salarians found them, this gave them an advantage over their environment they'd never had before. It has been shown that as technological level and standard of living improve population growth drops. To illustrate this point at the turn of the 20th century many more people lived in rurals areas than do now. At the time it was also common for families to have 5+ children. Fastforward to the turn of the 21st century and we have most of our population living in cities and the avearage family only has 1-2 children.
Had the Krogan reached the technological level to find the Mass Relays themselves their birth rate would have dropped considerably and the Krogan wouldn't be nearly the threat they were for the Rebellions. The Salarian accelleration of the Krogan didn't allow them to develope that lower birthrate naturally so in order to compensate the Salarians chopped it down. They didn't want to kill the Krogan just correct the mistake they had made in advancing them too far too fast.
Still its an artificial limitation, not a social or environmental change. I have heard this argument before about families. Understand, why don't most Western families have large families? A women can as many children back then as now. Partly because more children are living to maturity and are not dying plus many other reasons. Social reasons not just technological. Understand a women can have as many children now as back then, however for social reasons we do not, it is not simply because of technology.
Again its an artificial limit, only a few fertile females meaning the majority are infertile. If the genophage was not a punishment then why modify it? Let the krogan adapt to their growing population, will they go to war?I do not know. No one knows, as know one knows the future. For me, the salarians have opened pandoras box but cannot fully close it. If the krogan got their act together and had a stable government and a stable population they will still resent the council/ salarians.
If what I said above sounds like nonsense, then I stand by what I said before still stands, kill 'em all.
On a side note: I wonder if people are more angry that maelon experimented on humans more than anything else?

Retour en haut
It's unclear how culpable he is fo the experiments (the Weyrlocs also have to take some responsibility). Mordin even says the krogan female was a volunteer, and the scout seemed williing to be a part of the experiment.
, like how Shep helps the Patriarch if he takes out the mercs for him as his krantt.
