I would say that, since their bodies still do not age, the only effect the choice has is that passage into the West is forbidden. I always thought Half-elves that chose mortality could theoretically live until the end of Middle-Earth, when the only option is death.

In practice, I don't think any would continue to live after all Elves had left Middle Earth.
