Not exactly what you looking for, but a simple macro do a similar job:

C-a			;; beginning-of-line
C-p			;; previous-line
C-SPC			;; set-mark-command
C-e			;; end-of-line
M-w			;; kill-ring-save
C-a			;; beginning-of-line
C-n			;; next-line
C-y			;; yank


or:

(fset 'duplicate-last-line
    [?\C-a ?\C-p ?\C-  ?\C-e ?\M-w ?\C-a ?\C-n ?\C-y])

This macro duplcates whole previous line. The point is on the
end of the line. Now you can press (one or more times ) M-DEL
and continue editing.
