Now that just doesn't make sense. Why should a reinfusion of Elvish blood make it necessary for Elrond's children to choose? Why shouldn't it just confirm their Elvish identity as their cousin's Mortal blood on their mother's side supposedly confirmed theirs as Men?

Thank you for reminding me of the 'same potential for life' quote, IMO it furnishes confirmation for my theory by indicating that the Half-Elven inherit the immortality of their Elven parent but the Gift of Men from their Mortal. I wonder, is Elrond completely free of the 'seeking elsewhere' trait? How content is he going to be in changeless Aman, how content are Elwing and Earendil?

One can't help but notice that the majority of the Half-Elven choose Mortality; Elros, his children, Arwen and the Twins - do they maybe know something we don't? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
