And if the QS idea is held to be true, then Arwen, Elladan and Elrohir are automatically mortals to my mind... that is, if Elrond or Elros chooses immortality here he will yet have automatically mortal children with respect to death (as they will still have some measure of mortal blood).
My theory is that the Children of Elrond must at least be extended the choice in order to make Elrond's choice fair to begin with (and the same with Elros had he chosen an immortal fate).
In this way, no person with mortal blood (in any measure) is automatically withheld from a mortal death -- release from the Circles of the World and time. And no children are automatically sundered from their parent if that parent chooses immortality.
