Can I duplicate an Apple ID?

Two family members share an Apple ID and want to separate into having their own. Considering it's impossible to just pick and choose what to transfer over, I've decided it's easiest to just delete things manually after duplicating Apple IDs. Is it possible to do this? If not, how can I separate the two people into their own Apple IDs without losing any data? Thanks for the help.
