Do we really want to cure the genophage?

Of course, in the face of the Reaper threat I may not have a choice, but I feel this is one decision that may come back to haunt the galaxy after the Reapers are defeated. I wonder if we'll get an option to avoid that.

Better it's Shepard than someone like Saren or Weyrlock Guld.
If you're not going to cure them, you need to wipe them out totally.

I imagine curing the genophage would be some sort of goodwill gesture to win the loyalty of existing krogan.
But yeah, no, I don't think it's a good idea. They're a stubborn, belligerent, aggressive race that should still be stuck on that nuke-blasted hell-hole of a planet. The only way I could see it being a good idea is if Wrex's reforms fundamentally change krogan culture. But somehow I doubt it will.

Some one will cure the Genophage eventually - after all, Shepard has randomly stumbled across two fairly credible cure attempts without even trying.

...actually, you run across a fair amount of reasonable krogan, particularly in ME2. Think about that krogan on Ilium representing Mr. Thax, or the two arguing on the Citadel about fish. Or what about the lovesick, poetry-reciting krogan over by the gift shop?
Sure, they're large, dangerous reptiles that are generally bad-tempered and very hard to kill, but at the same time, not every krogan is a vicious murderer or a neo-Darwinian sociopath, a la Kredak or Okeer.

The eldest of the Krogan (among Wrex) witnessed part of the Krogan rebellions and so know full well what the other races are capable of doing. Perhaps the threat of the Salarians reinventing the Genophage would be enough to keep them in line but it's impossible to know at this point.
If anything, I'd give this cure to Wrex only so he can distribute it only to friendly clans he knows support his 'new ways' and add the warning that Wrex has to keep the Krogan in line somehow as the next time the Krogan attack other races, the Salarians may not be so nice.

I'm thinking of this Sur'kesh mission in the ME3 demo. The female krogan represents a genophage cure, does she not? And I am asking myself, do I really want to do that?

I say cure it, and dont tell them that you did, it'll be like, "Surprise! You're not gonna die..."
Also someone mentioned the reasonable Krogans.... was it just me or were they the most frightening? I mean.... Wrex.. Grunt and the others were like "RAWRGH!!!" but the courier for Mr. Thax was WAAAAAAAAAY too polite... and the poetry guy... yea I almost died right there.

Regarding Mr. Thax, if anybody ever kills Shepard, it will be him. He will politely invite you into his home for some tea and then he will rip off your limbs and bludgeon you to death with them in a feat of blood rage.

Having said that, I'm not sure what Reapers can actually do. I guess they'd be useful at fighting Reaper ground forces - i.e. husks - but because they're banned from having any kind of fleet I don't imagine they'll be instrumental in defeating the Reapers. The war will be won or lost in space battles.
Of course, I would only cure them if Wrex is in charge. I think he'd be able to put them on the right course.

I'd cure it and not tell anybody. I mean I fear the same thing could happen with the krogan, but I like them too much not to help them out.

And he'd do it with his pinky out, without spilling a drop of tea... just like Vice-Cardinal Ferdinand Daxus.

They aren't responsible enough as a race to be trusted with their full power. My "bleeding heart" feeling for their situation (and I do feel bad for them) isn't enough to cause me to doom the entire galaxy, not after I just saved it.
I'd rather find a way to change the genophage so all female krogans can only develop one fetus at a time, to avoid the 1000's of miscarriages and infertile females that have such a negative psychological effect on the krogan. Maybe I can get Mordin on that.
If something like that is not possible, then genophage stays. 1 in 1000. Prefect balance. Like gardening.

Unless these standards are met then, no. Never.
