Till we have a better solution, you can use the following:

duplicateObject =  JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(originalObject));

EDIT: Clarification

Please note: The above solution was only meant to be a quick-fix one liner, provided at a time when Angular 2 was under active development. My hope was we might eventually get an equivalent of angular.copy(). Therefore I did not want to write or import a deep-cloning library.

This method also has issues with parsing date properties (it will become a string).

Please do not use this method in production apps. Use it only in your experimental projects - the ones you are doing for learning Angular 2.
