I no longer like Elementary, though I used to be a fan when the first season was airing. But I agree. I don't think they really thought this through.

I suppose their idea was to make Watson a sort of moral anchor for Holmes, which ought to include her reminding him that people dying is, in fact, a bad thing and that it's normal to be upset about it (hence her backstory). If she herself had issues seeing death as abnormal (which is a part of what some vets go through), this wouldn't work that well.

But I think there could be a more graceful solution to this problem than simply saying "let's just not make her a vet". The canonical Watson WAS one, and it didn't stop him from acting as a sort of moral anchor for Holmes.
