Well, there is. Click on the little + in the upper right corner of the 
Manipulate panel, and from the dropdown menu select Paste Snapshot.

You can also right-click Copy on the output of a Manipulate, then paste 
into a new (Input) cell, but Paste Snapshot is a bit more useful because 
it preserves the actual input. (Try it and you'll see.)
