Particicution in the novel.

Explain the meaning of "particicution" within The Handmaid's Tale. Is it believable? Can you imagine yourself going along with the "rules" if you were placed in a similar situation?

I would liken this event to the stoning of a woman. The man was convicted of rape and sentenced to "particicution." No, I can't imagine going along with the "rules."
