You mean something like creating a new object on the heap and copying over the 
contents of an existing object.

If this were C++ all you had to do would be invoking the copy constructor
 Node* x = new Node(old_node);

Oo.copy o returns a copy of object o, that is a fresh object with the same 
methods and instance variables as o

Curious,
