I suppose you have read the book.
The genetic experiment in BNW is successful insofar as maintaining social harmony and general efficiency but at the cost of individualism and freedom generally.
Now, BNW is sci-fi. In the real world and the 21 century we don't have soma or such a promiscuous culture or the abolition of the family to pacify the individual. If we emulate the policies from the 26 century setting of the book we will not end up with a single anomaly - Bernard, but with many or even everyone having the same feeling of inferiority and the thirst for freedom and expression outside the influence of the state.
