I have to disagree. If a child property is a class or a collection, you will
be setting a reference to the same objects in the cloned parent. Thus, updates
to the child property will be made to both the clone and the original.
ObjectUtil.copy() is another good way to clone, but does not always work for
deeply nested objects.
