"It seems undeniable that most World State members are happy, but at what cost? Some, like John, Bernard, and Helmholtz criticize the quality of life in the World State. Consider the results of stability being privileged over freedom, and decide what, if anything, is wrong with the World State’s society."

I think we could take a deeper look at their meaning of happiness, and base our answer from there. What the audience sees is a controlled life, but in the book, that's how life really is. We could also take a look at how structured their life is, and how free will does not exist in the World State. We could also connect the World State's society with real life and how our society has some influence on how we live our life.
