A thought occurs to me, if (as some suggested) elros's children should have been elegible for "the choice" (I'm not saying they were, only that some of those on the board suggested they should have been being part elf) that shouln't Eldarion have had the same opportunity? After all he was also part elf. In fact he is slightly more elf than Elros's children they are 1/4 and he is 3/8 or more accurately very slighty more than 3/8 (the "slightly more is becuse if Aragorn is a descendent of decendent of the Kings of Numernor, he has a few dribbles of Elros's blood in him too. How much however, can't be accurety determined for a simple reason, namely that while his paternal amount could be determined ( 1/2 to the n where n is the number of gererations between Aragorn and Elros) it's a fair bet that after a few generations many of the Numernorian ancestors would have took wives who were distant relatives (Numernor didn't have a huge population, and royal/noble families tend to inbreed quite a bit anyway whether by law or custom) and who would have varios amounts of Elros's blood in them too so to get the true amount in Eldarion you'd need to know all of his female ancestors geneologies as well.)
