Heres one way to do same with Emacs:

M-h  // mark-paragraph
C-w  // kill-region
C-y  // yank
C-y  // yank

Another way is:

C-space  // set-mark-command
M-}      // forward-paragraph
C-w      // kill-region
C-y      // yank
C-y      // yank

If you are in the middle of a paragraph, these two will give different 
results. The first one will copy the whole paragraph, while the last
one will only copy from the cursor to the end of the paragraph.
