Copying objects is necessary when you want to transform an object for example orient chairs from xy plane to a target plane

# import what we need only
from Rhino.Geometry import Plane, Brep, Transform

breps = []
for i in range(len(planes)): # iterate planes
    copy = brep.DuplicateBrep() # copy a chair BRep
    transformation = Transform.PlaneToPlane(Plane.WorldXY, planes[i]) # create a transformation
    copy.Transform(transformation) # apply the transformation to the copy
    breps.append(copy) # append the copy to the list

a = breps # output to grasshopper

Copy Rhino Objects as GUIDs:

import Rhino
from Rhino.Geometry import Plane, Transform

if(run):
    for i in range(len(planes)):
        for current_guid in guid:
            transformation = Transform.PlaneToPlane(Plane.WorldXY, planes[i])
            Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Objects.Transform(current_guid,transformation,False)
