Here is something that should do what you want.  I have only tested it
on C/C++ code.  You may get strange behaviour if the beginning and
ending of your region are not at the beginning of lines.

        (defun comment-copy (beg end)
          (interactive "r")
          (goto-char beg)
          (insert (buffer-substring beg end))
          (comment-region beg end))

The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think.
