The Taiwan government is attempting to draft men with 180 types of disease and defect by amending the physical classification standards. These diseases, under intense training environments and the healthcare in training camps that’s basically rubbish, can cause long-lasting harms, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, lupus erythematosus, severe intervertebral disc herniation, ankylosing spondylitis, and BMI less than 15. To illustrate the ridiculousness, patients with severe ankylosing spondylitis can take half an hour to get out of bed, whereas the trainees are required to wake up at 6am and jog at 6:20am. 

The proposed amendment also mandates those who have taken surgeries, which were eligible for exemption, to serve, as the authorities assume they are all taken with the purpose to evade drafts. The authorities have disregarded opposition from professional medical groups.

The black humor that happens along with the amendment is that they know the amendments can harm conscripts, so they proposed another amendment to raise disability allowance due to service-related injury. 

This is not the first time the Taiwanese government being cold-blooded to conscripts. In 2012 a serviceman in substitute service (the services for people not fit for military but still not exempt from services) with herniated discs was bullied and ridiculed as faking diseases by supervisors due to being unable to carry out training and chores. He ended up dead in the training camp. The court determined this incident as suicide, despite there is no fingerprint of the victim on the knife and he even booked train tickets for returning home two days before the incident. The deputy director of the Conscription Agency even told his family to let go of the grief. 

If you would like to know more, these are the proposed amendment and the list of diseases involved, although they are in Chinese: (sorry I have no time to translate them all)
