How will the new heart beat bill (abortion bill) affect the treatment of braindead people? What about organ donations?

Non-American here, mightily confused. The Georgia bill states that life begin when a heart beat can be detected, correct? How will this affect the treatment of people declared brain-dead? I would assume that turning off life support for them would be the same as turning off life support for a fetus, but has this been covered in the bill or any medical establishments?

Can you ethically harvest organs from a braindead person in Georgia, when they are technically still considered alive?

Does it also mean without a detected heart beat is not considered life?
