  The salarians believed the genophage would be used as a deterrent, a position the turians viewed as naive. Once the project was complete, the turians mass produced and deployed it. The krogan homeworld, their colonies, and all occupied worlds were infected.

  Talk to the salarian about his previous work with the krogan genophage. Mordin was very involved in the genophage. He knows an awful lot about it—perhaps too much.

  Dalatrass: No good can come from curing the genophage. / Shepard: The krogan have paid for their mistakes.

Lauteria, editors, Rated M for Mature: Sex and Sexuality in Video Games‎^[3] (Media Studes / Game Studies), Bloomsbury Publishing, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, pages 163-164:

  The characters of Mordin (a Salarian) and the two playable Krogan characters, Urdnot Wrex and Grunt, are not romance options as their species’ designs are not portrayed as compatible lovers or mates with human companions, and they are themselves not interested in a relationship with a human beyond as comrades.

  Mordin didn’t create the Genophage, but he maintains it, making sure it continues to be effective, wrecking any chance of true Krogan civilizational growth. He doesn’t regret this decision, passionately arguing that the Genophage was a necessary choice to protect the galaxy from Krogan brutality. He is a great counterpoint to the emotional connection players formed with Wrex in the previous game, and his lovable goofiness makes it difficult for players to decide where they land on the Genophage.
